Flutter On
-Josiah Vermont

Look at you
with your designer bag
and glamour shots on Instagram

I anticipated
every second we spent
together
even when we became stale

To them
you’ll be one more conquest
A quick add to the roster
Temporary interest

I knew you
through your metamorphosis
But you were beautiful
before the chrysalis

You were the one
The perfect match
I would have bet the house on you

But you stayed in the cocoon
long after your heart had flown
Don’t message me now

I haven’t erased your memory yet
but I soon will
Just another sunset

Flit away
little Butterfly
Flutter on
Sometimes its better
to forget
