I held your hand
For the first time ever.
You were as cold as Antarctica,
But you said I warmed you.
Liar; we both know that's not true,
Someone turned the heater up.
It was a brief engagement,
And then I was gone.
I left because I had to.
You'd force me to change
But never be satisfied
With what I changed to.
I'd always be with you,
Seldom without you.
Everything I'd do
Would have to be reported to you.
You'd keep me under lock and key,
But this butterfly,
She needs to always spread her wings.
You cannot put me
In a jar, so only you can
Look at me whenever you want.
I am not for your eyes only,
Shameless flatterer,
I need to be shared with the world.
