Butterflies
April 28, 2016
Butterflies in my stomach
And a question in my head
Six simple words
which filled my heart with dread
“Will you go out with me?”
I walked through the hall
And saw them standing there
With their beautiful body
Pressed against a bleak brick wall
This will change everything
I beat around the bush
For what felt like hours
They replied with a yes
And I no longer felt sour
I finally felt so happy
A weight had been lifted from my chest
Later on a message appeared
“We need to talk.”
And at that moment I knew
my happiness would be taken away
I asked what was up
I can’t be with you they replied
My heart then shattered
And I’m still picking up the pieces.
