where the wild flowers grow

Vile butterfly
how I..
love to pick you
up and dust off your wings..
make you nothing,
just like me.

Voices that resemble
a California sunset.
Something that could've been
used against
all that once was.

..you pity none,
holding my vine..
red heart's flower at a time grew all knowing..
now a painful thorn in my side.

Butterfly,
I love you, though
through soaked, heavy vinyl you torture..
Must I, too,
dance?

Use thin wings uncolored
that may not fly..
Must I, vile
butterfly?
You haven't seemed to notice
what little reason you give..

All only dust
in a drawling wind.

This rips Kaoru!  And you and Raph are too cute, just be careful where he tells you to kiss him.      I thoroughly enjoyed the stark contrast that you wrote.
