Butterfly Boy

I had never seen a smile so genuine,
so gentle and warm-
and your eyes seemed to penetrate through me
when our glances met.
Your whole face changed into
someone so strong, yet so humble
and you would always bashfully look down,
still smiling.
You couldn't ever look me in the eyes:
Butterflies.
Day by day I learned to love you,
so easy, so intense.
But your eyes told lies I learned.
You took hold of me then broke me,
for your eyes weren't only mine.
They went straight for my heart,
when you said...when you said...
and it shattered like glass.
Your words pierced like swords
through that smile, still on your face.
You wanted me to hate you.
You wanted me to break you.
So bashful still, and now ashamed-
you asked me what I thought of you,
knowing you weren't who you said you were.
You looked down to the ground,
and with this,
all my butterflies drowned.
