Inside the shadow's shadow

You're thoughtless
Staring into the sun
Damning his existence
For burning your eyes.

You're thoughtless
Throwing away a penny
Naming it useless
For being only copper.

You're thoughtless
Kissing my crying lips,
Pulling back in disgust,
Repulsed by the cracks.

You're thoughtless
Noticing only the heat,
Not the wind, nor the reason
Why butterflies
Exist.

Thank you very much EA. It's worth more than I think you could guess

I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.
