You say you love me and you believe it. <br />I say you don't even know who I am. <br />You're in love with the image of me <br />that you created. <br />You love the smile <br />even though you never know why it's on my face. <br />I protect myself from you as if I'm sheltering from a storm. <br />I'm sorry I can't be your home, <br />but I am a butterfly <br />and you are a hurricane. <br />My wings aren't strong enough yet.<br /><br />Amanda Lukas<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/13-thunderstorms-and-butterflies-don-t-mix/
