paper butterflies

someone I loved and lost used to make me tiny paper butterflies.

i have a thousand paper butterflies

in my gut

they cut open my insides

i feel sick

i want to tear off their wings

but no matter how hard i claw at my stomach

my hand can't reach them

i have a thousand paper butterflies

in my gut

my only solace is when i die

so will they
