This pleasant sparrow was perched upon my windowsill today Treetops swayed with her sorrowful, sparrow songs I sensed you around me, wrapping me within your warmth For those beautiful moments, I was alive. My little bird departed and I thought of you Will she find another welcoming windowsill to rest upon? I long for those bittersweet melodies to float in the breeze again For one cherished second, I wasn't alone A broken sparrow lied lifeless on my sidewalk tonight The dim light dotting the streets lazily masking the terror in her eyes I continued along my stroll, abandoning my metaphoric soul For the rest of my time, I will still hurt.
