for so long
i wanted you to hold me
until i realized how small you
needed me to be to fit
within your grasp
– butterflies rising

It was written after she had been in a really controlling relationship, one where he had tried to make her feel uncertain of herself and to keep her small. Her spirit was broken for a while as she chased his love and approval, and felt like she needed to be “more” to get it. She finally realized it was never about her and was about how he felt about himself.
