butterflies die

something flutters

in my chest

where the heart once was.

it moves so

eloquently, like a

butterfly.

there is a pang

of warmth

that reignites the spark,

and for a moment

i can feel.

but the moment fades

and i am left

with nothing but another

fleeting emotion.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Just a single, fleeting emotion of joy with a bitter aftertaste. Sadly I know it all too well...
