When a word flies by
Like a butterfly in the sky
Beautiful from afar

And it slowly starts getting closer
You failing to notice the atmosphere getting colder
Till it had already pierced your heart

Then you get to know
It never was as beautiful as a butterfly
It never was as warm as you thought
It was just a word, that aimed at your heart, trying to kill you on the spot

Simply like that, without a single warning
You got poisoned and you are now falling
Mouth silent and feelings burning

Something so small took you down
Something so little tore you apart
A word powerful, because it came from a mouth you cared about.

A mouth in who's  custody anything can be a weapon
And they never fail to use it
With intentions or not
Everything on you will fall upon.
No matter their thoughts no matter their plot.

Sweet small murders
After all
Happen a lot

One more bullet it won't make a change
In the same spot

A word at a time
Your life they tick away
The air blows away your pray
For it one day to end

And with hopes only you are left
To feel warmth despite the knife that has created on you a cleft
A positive thought to be left
And fear you to not feel

When again you happen to hear or see
A butterfly that flies high above the sea
In a warm summer sky, dancing around the shore
Words that not all have the same core.
