Butterfly with Broken Wings

The picture that opens
In front of my eyes is
Sometimes hard to believe
Sometimes too bright
And sometimes way too blurry
To focus and see it right

And those stories
Already told so many times
Still linger deep in my mind
And in my heart
Never leave me
Promise me this please

Sometimes I wonder if
It's all just meant to be
Or in fact it's just
A pure mystery
That life brings
To our ways, our times

You're the one
About whom I always dream
And your smile when we were
Dancing in the street
Is the last memory
That I have about you

Those green eyes
Just tell all stories at once
They're a window to your mind
And to your soul
And despite you're smiling
You're wounded, deceived, it's not right

Have you ever
Imagined you could just once
Let someone
This close to your heart
To your skin
To your soul

I love you
Always have and always will
And I wish it all was just
An awful dream
I miss you, it is hard
To express what I feel

So why you had to go
Just tell me please
I'm shattered
I'm down on my knees
I feel like a butterfly
With broken wings
