i held a bird in my hands
his wings were broken
he begged me to fix him
i tried, oh how i tried,
but all he really wanted
was the strength to fly away

i've never let anything live in me
at times not even myself
but you are here always
and for now i'll keep pretending
my hands can't reach the door

tonight i drowned out the silence with the sound of your voice
i watched your hands touch the darkness & turn it into light
i felt your eyes burn holes down the curve of my spine
i tasted years of sadness in the warmth of your mouth
i felt love move inside me when your skin touched mine
please love,
don't ever stop
making me,
*feel

i dreamt you came for me
we turned our backs on this madness, got lost in the forest & fell together like autumn leaves
