A symbolic poem

Fly,

butterfly,

fly.

high.

I wished you could fly with me.

let’s not work this out.
i can’t.
i need
…need more…
Deserve more.
compensate.
candle-lit dinners, show me off on your social.

I was trying to,

crying,

for a sign that

you could be mine.

I’m sorry.
I changed.

I am constantly,

changing.

And you aren’t,

enough,

for the butterfly that,

I am.
