Madam Butterfly

Madam Butterfly

I watch from afar

A chance glimpse, all I seek

The waves beat their timeless tune on the shore

Tears of regret claim my eyes

Though this is for the best, I still feel pain

You seem so far away, yet, you are well within my reach

My courage is not that great, that I can begin an approach

I, just a figure in the shadows

The blackness in my heart, matching my surroundings

Seek me out

Though now I feel pain

It will soon be soothed by fair hands

Your hands

Madam Butterfly
