Description
Once upon a timeThere were two butterflies
Living in a fairytale
Loving each other
They protected their very own world
From butterflies they became jackals
From lovers they turned into rivals
And all the colourful days went grey
Fighting each other
They started destroying their fading world
From rivals they became enemies
And all the grey days went black
Killing each other for months
Eventually they forgot their hatred and love
They forgot each other
And their world, so perfect once, was lost
The two weren't there anymore
But we didn't really forget back then
All the black days went grey which are white now
I know we are still able to fly
We can be butterflies once again
If you only come to me
Hug me and tell me that you like me
Coz I do
Always have, always will

Thank you.
Most of them I guess. This one may be a bit different coz it's not based on "I don't wanna lose you.", it's "I don't want you, get off."

But generally I write about love and not being happy for that. I can't write happy poems. In fact, i don't even want to.

Symbolism = LOVE
I can never decide which of your poems are my favorites... I think each one is my favorite when I am reading them. XD
From butterflies they became jackals
That is just an epic line that explains so much! Probably my favorite part... It's just so beautiful.
From rivals they became enemies
And all the grey days went black
Again, I was amazed... Just lovely imagery, and such powerful symbols you used to explain things.
I know we are still able to fly
This sounds so passionate and beautiful... Of course I love the ending too.
Ah, this has to be my favorite that you've done. I mean it! I love poems like this. And I think this one is perfect. <3 Keep up the awesome work.

I just love you, miss.
You're so kind.
I love symbolism too, it's very interesting way how to write poems.
I was thinking about this poem later and I realized I don't know why I chose butterflies. I mean - they live like only a day or something?

You're welcome. I really love this one, it's so inspiring.
When someone writes a poem and it just says "I feel like this." and not much else, I won't usually fave or comment because it's like... Not very poetic. It's not that they're bad, just not imaginative enough for me to really like them. I think by using symbols your words can say what you want them to, but it leaves enough room for people to see what they want to. It's amazing.
Butterflies may only live for a day, but their symbols of something that goes on forever.

That's very nicely written and I can't agree more.
Haha, that's true!
I love them, they're so... poetic or something. A friend of mine has a fobia from butterflies; that's interesting.

Really? When I was a little kid, I used to be scared of them too. So I can understand... For some reason, they reminded me of spiders with wings. And I thought they could bite.
No matter what anyone told me, I still thought they could.

Spiders? I've never thoought about it like this... And I hope I'll forget this idea, since I hate spiders.
Haha, butterflies that can bite, that's cute.

When I was a kid, butterflies seemed huge to me. But once I remember, I had this moth... I kept it as a pet, and it was really nice and I got over that fear. I know moths are not the same as butterflies, but they are kind of close...
I was a strange child. Lol.
If butterflies could bite, that would be scary. XD

I don't like moths, they are don't seem estetical enough to me.
Well, I am sure you were an interesting child.
And they could have a big sharp fangs!

Yeah butterflies are much prettier... Haha, and yeah, I was a weird kid.
Hahaha, vampire butterflies... This conversation (along with recent events) is inspiring me to write another poem. Haha. <3

That's a very interesting scenario, and I think the whole poem is very true.
