Metamorphosis
I am a girl,
your girl.
I am a human,
not a butterfly.
So why
am I changing
so drastically?
You are a boy
the boy I love.
You say,
I do.
It’s like I’m a caterpillar
in a cage.
You keep feeding me.
You constantly watch me,
until I
change.
As you watch me
hide in my cocoon,
I turn into something.
I turn into a butterfly.
Butterflies are not bad,
but they are different,
much different.
I’m a girl
who has changed
for you,
the boy I love.
Not because I
wanted to,
but because I
had to,
because I knew that
becoming a butterfly
is something you
probably wanted me
to do.
Even though
I don’t like my new self,
even though
I hated metamorphosis,
even though
You hurt me so bad,
I am still a girl,
your girl.
But now as the one
you’ve always wanted.
You are still a boy,
the boy I love.
If I really was a caterpillar,
I’d let you force me
into metamorphosis
like the way you forced me
to change,
just to stay with you
forever.
Because even If
I am not the girl you love,
You are
the boy I love.
