leaves in the wind, two roots underground touch and slowly intertwine,
circling clouds, dance and into rain they combine,
two butterflies flutter round and round each other, away to warmer lands,
birds of a feather, singing love songs from golden sands,
foxes curled up in a den, paw pads warm in each other's tummies,
cats with interwoven tails, pitter pattering on the rocks by the sea,
two lightning bugs crash into each other, holding on another as they fall,
but i think i love this lifetime of finding you again, intertwining hands, most of all.

You keep coming back, tunneling your way into my mind. Nothing reminds me of you. Everything reminds me of you. My memories are all red now. You were the sunset, bright, chaotic, ever changing and blinding. I never belonged there, I never belonged there. The night smells like sea salt and everything tinted blue feels like home. He feels like home but he doesn't care. He feels like home but I'm too scared. He told me about a flickering in my eyes, something terrifying to those who don't understand. He feels like a far away flame, he flickers too. The clouds will cover my eyes, soon, and I will slowly descend into another darkness.

memories flooding my eyes
but I don’t mind
the more I feel
the more of myself I find
lately I’ve been floating
in this lagoon, still
anticipating darker clouds,
ones that ****
but for now the water
keeps me in a haze
ignorance for the rest of my happy days.

slowly, and steadily, the descent
to the forest again, the lonely trees
the hush of wind in their leaves.
back to the place no one ever sees.
slowly, and quietly, the climb
up to that house where she wept,
where that mind was shattered.
back to the memories I had kept.
slowly, and calmly, the sight
of the sun leaving, the sky melt
to the darkness I came to love.
back to the darkness I ever felt.

She always hushed me to sleep
when charcoal skies grew flame
I never saw what happened to her,
She never knew what I became
Trapped in darkness, the moon
burning herself by day, the sea
but by the cool light of twilight,
we were as peaceful as can be.
There were days she could see me,
and days she felt alone, nowhere to run
soon the sea grew weary of the game
soon she introduced herself to the sun
They fell in love, the sun and sea.
And by the warm light of morning,
they were as peaceful as can be.
No regard at all for me.
In the end, she preferred the warmth
of the sun,
rather than the quiet pull
of the moon.

I hear ways to self destruct from the walls.
Shadows hush me to sleep at night.
I've heard it before, don't befriend monsters,
But they couldn't be more right.
I've dreamt of them, their sharpened claws
And it jolts me awake, their blackened eyes
Lately I've been noticing, for a while now,
Mine are growing darker, as are my lies.
I couldn't look more beautiful,
I couldn't be more of a threat,
It's roulette with me, your treatment,
Either way you don't forget.

it is the air between your feathers,
the trust between the two,
it is the blood in your little veins,
to the heart meant not for you.
it is the rain that chases you out,
the kind that falls lightly
it is the warmth of morning sun,
the one that hugs tightly
it is the tumbling and mixing tide,
the rush and then the calm
it is the hand you only trusted,
but crushed you in its palm...
what’s it to be in love, little bird?
is it your ribs splintering that I heard?

I am a caged bird, my song is calm
my master lets me sleep in his palm
I am a caged bird, my song is weak
my master likes to kiss my beak
I am a caged bird, my wings are useless, they're clipped
my master thinks I'll leave with every drink he sipped
I am a caged bird, my eyes are dark and brooding
my master thinks its his fate to which I'm alluding
I am a caged bird, my master broke my cage
Because my song changed after seeing his rage
I am an injured bird, my song is calm
my master lets me sleep in his palm
I am an injured bird, my song is weak
my Master likes to kiss my beak
I am an injured bird, my wing is pierced
my Master only hurt me because I hurt him first
I am an injured bird, my eyes are hopeless
my Master says he misses my caress
I am a happy bird, I cannot fly
but with my Master I need not try
I am a Happy bird, I cannot sing
for my Master, my sweet king
I am a Happy Bird, I laid an egg one day
it seems like master will let me stay
Master doesn't want another bird, he says
I am a content bird, I take my egg and part ways.
Master is looking for me, he looks insane
I hold my egg and cry, I need not explain
I am a hiding bird, I do not sing
for fear that through the forest my song will ring
I am a hiding bird, I dropped my egg and it died
for fear that this baby would know the reasons I cried
I am an injured bird, wont you please come see?
I won't even take off the ring he put on me
I am an injured bird, wont you **** me now?
He's hurt me too much to break my vow
I am an injured bird, I miss my Master
the one before his blows came faster

Spend the day with earbuds in
To avoid crumbling from within
Count the days you've been like this
With the blade that can't help but kiss
Your screams are unheard, little teen
Since on your skin they can be seen
Skip all your meals, run all you can
But this disaster was not the plan
You wanted to escape, not make a hole
They'll put you in when this takes it's toll

I used to wonder
Where I was going wrong
That I left the path
To hear the bluebird's song
I think I heard it
My mother scream my name
Yet it was but a whisper
To the forest most untame
It seems I'm lost
But I don't feel lost at all
I prefer to watch clouds
Than watch humanity fall.
