Butterfly Locket



The end of the day is drawing near,
When her butterfly locket is starting to smear.
All of the colors blue and gold,
Seem to dripping down to the snow.
The colors that were painted onto her chest,
resembled her sisters beautifulness.
When her sister left she gave her locket,
The one she kept around her neck.
Saying that she'll always be there in her heart,
And never forget her when there apart.
When her sister left her heart crumbled into a mess.
That's when her butterfly in her heart,
Left and went far apart.
The Butterfly Locket that was around her chest,
Was never there to begin with.
The butterfly was just a faze,
That was really in her heart locked in a maze.
