The Birds
February 27, 2014
Birds fly
In my mind
Glossing my eyes
No peace to find
Oh my
They chatter
They shatter
My focus and joy
Oh boy
Pitter patter
Nothing else matters
Only hearing their song
It's wrong
But I can't stop
Birds feed on the crop
Of my mind
Why, birds why?
You're ruining my life
Songs are like knives
Why do I listen?
Tears glisten
Racing down my cheek
I cannot speak
You clip my wings
When you sing
Crashing to the floor
Knocking on death's door
Birds are now silent
I hear nothing more
