Strange Fruit

Strange Fruit

A Poem by butterfly

If its not love let me go
If its not love I am out of here
I will follow the rainbow
To a better hemisphere without fear
I will not hold on to the shadow
He is Peter Pan and I am Wendy
Is his wife Tinkerbell
I crave tomorrow
Humans make the rules bendy
I cant believe I have been on this spell
I cut it off
He finds the loophole
I forget what I should know
I only want to heal his wounded soul
But angels can't do everything
So watch me fly away on this unchained wing
Sometimes you say things that hurt me
You are not always my freedom too
Still I want to heal your bruise
In the end you are the strange fruit
Tell me to say good bye to you
If this is your wish
I dont want to be with someone who is okay to let me leave
I dont want to infringe on your freedom
Why do you call me to discuss your current married separated problems
Are we on this level
We have blurred the lines so much nothing is defined
Sadly our love is tainted with the devil
Only through the hands of God divine
Can we be realigned
I dont even want you to be mine
I want you to be on the same page
Living truthfully without shame
I used to be your freedom
I used to go with the flow
Yet please dont forget my love is the best you ever known
I give it all to you all my waves and layers as deep as the ocean
If only you would come too and show me that same emotion
i dont need a ring, a vow, or a wedding
Just the love to be the ties that bind keeping us together through all commotion
Till then our ending is an unending notion
what do we hold on to?
The dangerous truth through it all I always love you
In each season for some reason
That has to count for something
Why do you always make it like we are nothing
he is my wildflower coming to me in the quiet hour
yet all i feel is the power of heartache
Now matter step I take
I feel it in every embrace
It shouldnt be this complicated
If we were a one night stand we are both free to flee the land
yet you come back leaving your heart in my hand.
I enjoyed healing every bruise
I enjoyed all the kissing we do
Now all that is left behind is that enigmatic taste of strange fruit
