The Burnt Butterfly - Chapter IV




in the entwined tingles of our seemingly messed up lives, if someone somewhere misses you even for a moment, you need to live.
in the unnecessary complexities of our otherwise mundane lives, if someone somewhere craves to be with you just for a moment, you need to live.

amidst the damp polluted abattoir-stenched air around us, if someone somewhere remembers the smell on your neck, you need to exist.
amidst the plausible deniability of lustful bonds that grasps us everyday, if someone somewhere wishes just to be in your arms, you need to exist.

in the falsities of promises,
in the farcical attachments,
in the fantasies of promiscuity,
in the fallacies of compromises,

if someone somewhere just lives
to get a glance of you,
to hold you in a whisper
to get a touch of you,
to hug you in a whimper,

you need to believe in love...
