Crash and Burn








If you would forive me
I believe
I just crashed to the ground
burning
and I wonder
what would happen
should the phoenix not rise
this time
did you know
how hard it would be
this burden
you give us
and how it would hurt
when you turn your back
unwilling to see
unable to hold us
when we cry
this becoming
the changing from caterpillar
to butterfly
is not as it seems
for what would happen
should the caterpillar
wish to remain
