Black Butterfly: The Soul's Lament (A moment of teen angst for which I must be forgiven)

I sat down beside her Waited; a sound, a stir, a sign Anything. The Black Butterfly took her ruby ring and sang 'The only way to go is after the fireflies: Weaving within the husky threads of forsaken willow hair In a clearing by the river, Sweet river.' The Black Butterfly held her tainted heart and whispered 'When lilies fade, all is lost And golden dew will never guise the fragrance gone Beneath a silken air, Virgin air.' River rose, I cried While she cherished the wind and made it scream 'Goodnight sweet song, Goodbye.' Sky sank she waited; Watched me praise Demeter in the lavender evening shadow Never knowing, I was vulnerable And she knew When she grasped me, an icy hand, And could not let go. Did she know-- Did she know her soul Could never stand it? Well...that was...stupid. Oh well, I still can't help but like it.
