Butterfly 🦋

• Artist: xLovelyLar
• Description: *Trigger warning* - loss. This poem i wrote as a way to cope with loss. I wrote it on April 11th 2024 following a very personal experience in which i suffered multiple losses within a short period of time. Poetry was something i hadn't attempted in many years. The reason the poem is called butterfly is because despite their short time on earth they make such a huge impact with their beauty. I always imagined my angels fluttering beautifully in the sun.

🦋 Weeks of hoping for tiny fingers and tiny toes, a thick head of hair and a cute button nose. 🦋

🦋 Gripping little hands and wrinkly little feet, the bliss I dreamed of when we'd first meet.🦋

🦋 Gone in an instant. No reason, no cause. My whole life again in limbo halted at a never ending, suffocating pause. 🦋

🦋 Awaiting those words, "I'm so sorry for your loss". No tiny flickering heart and the realisation we'd inevitably have to part.. 🦋

🦋 Body so hopeful it's not even aware, even when met with news of despair. How can life be so cruel and unfair? 🦋

🦋 Losing a baby is a pain like no other, my beautiful angels, I'll love you always and forever. 🦋

Love your heartbroken Mother. 🧚‍♀️🧚🧚‍♂️
