rules for surviving

when you're a butterfly

**
1.
don't be a zoMbie loveR
stuck to the liPs of
a god chiseled out of
starduSt & cliMb my limbs
*
2.
don'T forget
that he has feet of cLay.
& for god sake
doN't fall at his feet
starving clinging
caRving angel wings
on his back
*
3.
don't eat out of his haNds &
*
4.
whaTever you do
don't feed him blOwn kisses
taSting like hoPe because
they have the tendency
to bouNce back
& hiT you in the heart
*
No.
this
is
noT
what
this
is
*
thiS is
don't look into the fUture
lest you tuRn into a deer
caught in the headlighTs
frOzen in stone
*
yeS, i am still a butterfLy.
but that doeSn't mean
that i should fLitter
to faSt forward
*
