we're just two birds in different cages
we sing to each other from across the way

your song is like sunshine
it brings light & warmth to my cold, dark, & rusty cage

but eventually your voice grows weak
you used it too much
you lose it
the song I loved so much is now gone

you try to sing, but your song has changed
what once was so soothing is now muddled & chaotic

it no longer brings me warmth or light
but rather, it shakes my bones & drives me insane

please just find your voice, or stop singing.
