Leaving Like a Forgotten Eagle

May 2, 2021

I am giving you my back like the dove

Hovering sadly in the deep blue sky

I am leaving and loudly saying goodbye

Farewell, au revoir, adios to my love.

It’s about time that I leave everything behind

Because you are inconsiderate and very unkind

I am leaving like a supersonic jet plane

Like a forgotten eagle left to die in the plain.

I have no choice but to move on

Darling, you can blame no one

But you, you who have ignored my complaints

For years. I am leaving to join the saints.
