take it as you will. I'm interested in your interpretations.
Butterfly
Black Butterfly
Fly far away
perhaps we will once again meet some day

Now Hark!
and leave as the leaves turn a burnt char
and I follow you willingly into the dark

The darkness consumes
as the light produces

in the distance are the skeletons of spruces,
though now the forest is dead
Like a mental prison encased within my head.

Butterfly
Black Butterfly
Fly far away
