Life has moved on updated

Here is the first version of this Pantoun I have since reworked        it please see the second version any thoughts if either works?


        I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly


Commitment I promised it wasn’t a lie


While life has moved your love I  still crave


It applies throughout life into the grave



Commitment, I promised it wasn’t a lie


I tried to stay true but you said goodbye


It applies throughout life into the grave 


Once word is given it shouldn’t enslave



I stayed true but you said goodbye


Needs, change the picture I understand why


Once word is given, it should not enslave


We should try to honour it  be strong and brave



Needs change the picture I understand why


You need to move on although I shall cry


Though we should try to honour it, be strong and brave


Throw out  commitment, morality waive



You need to move on although I shall cry


I will find a way, to fly in the sky


Throw out commitment morality waive


I keep my values my sanity to save



I will find a way to fly in the sky


While life has moved your love I still crave


I keep my values my sanity to save


I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly.

Written in the form Pantoum .


Version 2.

I flutter and fly like a trapped butterfly


The commitment you  promised was a big lie


Now you have gone your love I  still crave


It will probably stay till I go to my grave

The commitment, you promised was a big lie


I wanted to stay true but you said goodbye


It will probably stay till I go to my grave 


Although a love once given, shouldn’t be betrayed

I wanted to stay true but you said goodbye


You changed the picture I don’t understand why


Although a love once given, shouldn’t be betrayed


We should try to honour it  be strong and brave

You changed the picture I don’t understand why


You left with such bitterness it’s hard to justify 


Though we should try to honour it, be strong and brave


There comes a time with sadness our feelings to waive

You left with such bitterness it’s hard to justify


I need to rebuild my life and just quantify


There comes a time with sadness our feelings to waive


The old life with you has nothing to save

I need to rebuild my life and just quantify


Now you have gone your love I still crave


But the old life with you has nothing to save


I flutter and fly like a freed butterfly
