Plush Bird

I am a small bird

In the palms of your hand

You recite psalms to me

Of Saul and his land

Of David and his plan

And I must stay sheltered in the cusp of your arms

I am a bird of paradise

But I grew too fast

Your jelousy is grand

Gold, Emerald, and Sapphire flair

Burned to a crisp coal cloak

To hide the shame of which is my body

I am a soaring lovebird

Vision blinded in the clouds

So, I landed to wait for you

And I was plucked one by one

Till I could no longer fly

And you used the pedals of my wings to fly for yourself

I am roasting alive in my personal hell

Because I love you

And you silenced my song

The sheep in love with the shepherd

Who used me as the stone to kill goliath

And claim the kingdom for yourself
