Black Butterfly
Black butterflies suddenly appear.
Beating the wings in the air.
I am dreaming, not aware.
Shadows darkens the atmosphere.
Bad dream awakens me.
Beating sounds encircle me
I couldn’t help but fear.
Black butterflies fly in the air.
In their mouth, holding my soul.
Fly away from the windowsill.
Dull and lonely, I feel.
Darkness, emptiness, I could not resist.
Like walking alone in black forest.
Black butterflies took away my spirit.
There is only nothing left.
