As the tears begin flowing

Our wings tear by the seams

Fluttering to a halt

We are no longer dancing

We are drowning

All I want is to flutter again

But our wings are faulty

Can my wings be fixed? 

Or… can they be replaced?

Destroy the old and be created anew?

For my wings have scars and tears

 What have I become, a mere caterpillar? 

How must one love and cherish another who is not as perfect as before. 

How can one be as cruel as you—breaking my wings with your hollow tears.

My wings, tainted with memories

Now at the hands of your mercy 

Pleading for release,

Pleading for freedom.

All I wanted was to dance with you

One last time

Then no one shall ever dance our dance again
