Butterfly Caught [Poem]

Catch me in the air
that fills this room
we sleep in at night.
Hold me--
Hold me ever so close
to your deathly heart,

I want to take in all of you
every last drop of your
love. I need it, crave it
deserve it.

Indulge me in your sweet
dreams, since life without you
turns directly into a nightmare.
Hold me--
Hold me every so close
to the edge of humanity,

I'm fading from the memories
you have of me. No longer
will I remain the love of your life
but rather a butterfly caught
in the sands of time.

Hold me--
Hold me every so close
as I say goodbye
