Don’t treat me like a glass butterfly <br />So pretty and so fragile <br />I could be tough as nails <br />Melt your heart with a smile <br />Don’t treat me like a broken toy <br />About to be returned <br />I could set your heart on fire <br />If you’re willing to get burned <br />Relationships <br />Built on loose lips <br />Will sink to the bottom of the sea <br />Shattered dreams <br />Bursting at the seams <br />Could be the end for you and me <br />Don’t treat me like some leftover wine <br />Made from grapes rotting on the vine <br />My kisses can wake up lost desire <br />And any sense to which you may aspire <br />I’m not some token menagerie <br />On a glass display for all to see <br />Don’t treat me like a glass butterfly <br />Hanging from some chandelier <br />I could be your shining star <br />And dominate your atmosphere<br /><br />Alfred Ramos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/glass-butterfly-2/
