Despite all my rage

I read somewhere that a butterfly's wings are extremely sensitive. Once touched they will be rendered useless, making it impossible for the butterfly to get off the ground. That's why you should be so very careful around them, because if you're not you might end up, however unintentionally, causing their death. I don't know if it's really true, but I like the thought of something beautiful being that fragile.

I fled the house again this weekend, mother doesn't seem to have missed me although I can never be sure with her. I went to see him, mostly because I didn't want to be alone. I think he felt it. He has a way of smiling with his eyes, but I don't know whether it's a smile of pitty or compassion. Maybe it doesn't matter. He listens to me and I want to love him for it, but he makes it hard by holding my shivery hands just a little too long.

He said I want to get close to you, and I said you're not supposed to touch the wings of a butterfly. 

Just in case.

  3. i used to catch butterflies. Clasp them on their wings when they land on flowers. But then I grew up and didn't find it fun anymore.

  26. Hi, you have a fantastic way with words!
    Maybe it is true about the butterfly, maybe not, which ever way, remember, everything in life happens for a reason, sometimes we cannot figure out at the time what that reason is, but eventually it normally becomes clear, and then we realize why certain things happened to us.

    I sense the hurt and sadness in your blog, so I can only hope and pray that you will feel better soon.

    Best wishes.
    Colin.
