One Winged Butterfly Poem by Bryan Alexander

Like a one winged
butterfly
I turn circles in the sky
Lost and spiraling down
Almost unable to fly

I want to find a place
where I can lie peacefully
where your lack of
regrets don't
taunt me
or bring out the
beast in me

Couldn't you take me
out peacefully
instead of piece by piece
in by inch of me

I know you hurt
I hurt too
you ran to a place
where I can't protect you

So confused
So instead of dying
Ill cut off my other
wing
I Have no angel
thus no use for flying

once a butterfly
now a caterpillar again
When I had you I could fly
now I'm ordinary again
