My Friend, The Song Bird

October 6, 2015

They said you were poison

But I didn't want to believe them

I saw the good in you

That they couldn't.

Your wings might've been

Damaged before

I thought they were healed

But as it turns out,

They were right.

Now, you sing your song

In a cage.

You will reach out to me

But I won't reach back.

I wanted them to

Be wrong

The apologies won't work,

Those sad eyes won't phase me.

I gave you one chance

And one chance only

Your wings were still broken

You won't make me fall with you

And now my song bird

I fly without you.
