there are butterflies in my dreams

these are the things

where i don’t know what it means

it’s not what it seems

why are there butterflies in my dreams?

if a butterfly could sing

what would it sing?

maybe a soft melody as sweet as

peaches and cream

or maybe something bitter like the

smell of shit in my cats litter

why are there butterflies in my dreams?

if a butterfly symbolizes my soul

why does it fly away?

where does it go after my body starts to

decay?

these are the things that take a toll

these are the things i’m not allowed to

say.

why the FUCK are there butterflies in

my dreams?

please tell me what it means.
