I had written this poem awhile ago and until now didn't realize it was describing my feelings in relation to my husband's ADHD.
I intend to make it into a short film. If any are interested in reading the script, please let me know and I will post it. It would make me feel better to know that there are others out there who feel the way I do. Sometimes describing a scene expresses my feelings better than words can.
The Sad Butterfly
I need you but you are empty
I feel you but you are cold
I press against you but you don’t press back
My thoughts flow beside you but you don’t pick them up
I think I’m going crazy...you don’t notice
I put my heart sad In your hands...you just dangle
I want you to be here with me, but you are somewhere else
I tell you I need to leave...you ache... helpless to your mind
If I pushed you off a cliff would you wake up?
If I screamed in your face would you hit me?
I hope
I wait
Are you sleeping?
When will you turn into my butterfly?
your poem

Ivorey,
Your poem made me cry...no, you are not alone in the way you feel. For me, I would make the last line "when will you turn BACK into my butterfly?" My husband was in the beginning and haven't seen that butterfly, with the exception of a few moments here and there in 7 years... Hugs to you!
