To your words I became numb

What I've always wanted to hear
Coming from a stranger's mouth

I felt nothing
Felt numb

At the cold words you carelessly whirled at my brittle being
Words of confession birthed from hopes of something
More

Something I can't allow
Something I don't know

How to react to it?
What shall I say?

I don't know.

When in all my life
Never have I

Been confronted with something so small
Yet very delicate

Holding a deceased butterfly
As it's barely held together by string
Waiting to hear the flutter of it's wings
Taking it beyond these skies

Why me?
Couldn't it have been
someone else?

Just what was it that you saw in me?
