purple butterflies
migi kata ni murasaki choucho
I watch you as your eyelashes flutter like the wings of a butterfly
Smiling slyly, you tilt your head and catch my gaze through the wisps of your ebony hair
Teasing, taunting
kisu o shita kono heya no sumi de
The feelings are like particles of a dream
Dispersed throughout my body even to its furthest corners
Everywhere, nowhere
setsunai to iu kanjou o shiru
Your hands trace my body and pull away quickly like nervous minnows
Although I am used to this it still stings like broken glass
Sharp, painful
hibiku piano
Your words resonate inside my head but I push them out
I refuse to meet the taunting gaze of your ebony eyes
I am a broken butterfly

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
