I want to write about the needle pins you poke on my spine When I try, however. I'm distracted by the parrot on my shoulder bickering the sadness away. He's a ******* parrot who's words mean nothing. With a time bomb of a friendship. He listens to the words that escape my mouth like smoke under a door and questions everything I do (as if he actually cares.) I'll miss the parrot on my shoulder.... I forgot how life was without him.
