Sweet Accountability

Naomi Buttafly 🦋

1 min read

“Bees offer honey more than they sting!”

“People with good hearts get hurt the most!”

“It wasn’t my fault. It wasn’t my fault.

It wasn’t. _MY_ fault!”

If a bee stings you then dies,

whose the real victim?

You turned down the honey

and hurt that bee’s feelings.

Does them bringing you pain

make their death not in vain?

Or did they overreact

and die as consequence?

You just don’t like honey…

So...

When it ended I wasn’t sure

what was next.

I didn’t know how to be cold

nostalgia a throw blanket.

A relationship that mattered

but didn’t last.

Not everything is about romance

and warm feelings, being seen,

heard, and listened to.

Sometimes we just look for proof

for the adjective: lovable.

And that’s not even bad,

but not the right way to go about it.

Leaving it up to someone else to is what’...

Can’t Hear It Over My Intuition

Naomi Buttafly 🦋

1 min read

Colorful feelings need a place to go

or they will lose pigment over time. So,

understanding intuition is pen in hand

ready to let words dance out with ink. I

aim to be a vessel and refrain from

getting invested in inevitable judgements.

Express for expression’s sake....

Psycho

It wasn’t yours to take,

but nevertheless

you ripped it from my grasp.

This is what you wanted right?

A swift kick in the ass?

You’re keeping my sanity

as a keepsake.

How cute.

Just know that my shame

went along with it too.

So, don’t be surprised

at what I choose to do…

SURPRISE MUTHAF***A

That’s right I see you :)

You thought you got away

but I’m in your rear view

running full speed ...

Beauty in the Black

Darkness called my name

so I went back to the Black.

I see it’s beauty since

it does not overwhelm.

It whispers wisdoms

too soft for the day time.

A student to stories & lullabies

in constellations

& yet,

I favor the outliers

that twinkle on their own.

No need to be included.

Still worthy to help the moon

illuminate the night

just enough to make out

Mother Earth’s outlines.

At this time

The Key

I don’t know where to begin

since this love is infinite

it’s nothing we can deny

it felt wrong when we tried

Best thing I ever did

was lean deeper into it

‘cause you speak to my soul

Our love language is fluent

The way our tongues intertwine

You tend to say what’s on my mind

My best friend from the start

I gladly opened up my heart

I trust you with me

you know my heart

You’ve got the k...

If wishes fell like rain

then certainly I am a storm.

At first I was a light drizzle

never wanting too much.

These days too much

still isn’t enough.

A bad day to me never had any rain

It’s forced smiles on sunny days

that make my ego ache.

What if

today I’m not okay?

Is that not okay?

Whose to say?

Who said I gave up?

I still have wishes untouched;

rain drops that haven’t fallen.

And dodging ...
