BuTTeRFLY Şiiri - Mehmet Haluk Hisli

“I am scared” said the butterfly
A voice hardly audible
“You’ve hurt me” she added
A voice resembling a sigh
What I heard scared me

I
Never
Wanted to hurt you butterfly
You are frail
You can get hurt

Once butterflys are hurt
Their wings cant lift them
They fall
That’s why
Butterflys should not be hurt

….
And I,
I would not hurt you
More than
I would hurt myself
If
Anyone is hurt
Because of me
I pour out
From myself
Turning into pottery
With glaze stripped off
Resembling nothing
That’s why
I
Do not hurt anyone
But myself
