Eyes open to the dark
With the light becoming the spark
To the panic that pours
Staggering back and forth
A sharp pain pierces
Forcing down even the fiercest
One that can't be cured
Every human fears to endure
A familiar tune echoes
Hypnotically dragging vision close
Desperation delivers and bellows
A frail creature from the shadows
The bird in song flees
Bringing me to my knees
Leaving only a feather
Painted the deepest red ever
The end draws near
And my question becomes clear
In the time hardest to breathe
Why did the red canary chirp for me?
