Challenge
Describe the pain you are feeling or have once felt.
the pain of an unbroken heart
you've always been a cocoon to me
and I know it's foolish
to wrap one's self up in
another with broken wings
but the way your feathers felt
all around me
wasn't something I could sacrifice
for safety
how could I have known
your barbed wire underbelly
would swallow me whole
with angry words and broken promises
how could I have known
butterflies don't emerge
from the talons of a sparrow
no matter how soft
the killer sings
