Unafraid of feeling unwanted or unloved
She was safely hidden in her cocoon
Loneliness had colored her beauty
It was warm and cold all at once
Sleepless nights were hushed
By the howling of her heart
Calling out until he came
A simple touch and kiss
She, a bright butterfly
Free, vivid and prized
The ticking of time
Altered his image
Into a ghost
Her heart
A fiasco
Gone
