I wrote this for my boyfriend. He came into my life after I'd been through several abusive relationships. Butterfly They all took something from me And left me a broken, battered butterfly With just enough to fly But barely able to lift from the ground I was deserted in this state of limbo Dangling, fluttering helplessly Frantically beating useless wings Trying so hard, but going nowhere Trampled, crushed Enduring further abuse To this already demolished body And barely intact spirit How long was I to be this way? In the mediocre state of survival But without the happiness of real living An existence void of all love and support Just when I had reached what I thought were final moments The last few seconds of hope Of the belief that someone would or could ever love me I met you, and my spirit was restored I found that I could not only fly, But I could soar In the delicious clouds of love, happiness, and confidence How can I ever thank you for all that you have done? I love you. By Kristin L. Evans [This message has been edited by tookabear (edited 07-25-2000).] |

Hi, this is a beautiful poem, and so expresses that feeling of being beaten down and nearly destroyed by bad realtionships. I am so happy for you that someone good came to your life. I wish it would happen for everyone. Take care. Catalinamoon. |

Your poem "Butterfly" sent chills through my body. How lovely it is to learn of two who have found bliss in love's heavenly scent. May the treasures of your "restored spirit" bring infinite blessings upon those who call out* Chere |

I love your poem and know what it feels like to be in that situation and it is wonderful to have someone save you before there is nothing left. |
