̶T̶o̶d̶a̶y̶

This morning my little bird died

But I don't know it yet

The air grew cold, feathers grew old

Gazes unusually wet

Yet after all another day

I wasn't so upset

 

A month flew by and he still died

But the days just reset

He's still in there behind the bars

We got the story straight

Bears the same colors, shares a name

Chirps slightly out of tune

 

It's been a year and he still died

But I don't know it yet

And memories began to fade

But I can't share them yet

I can't believe he flew away

But I don't need it yet

 

Before another year goes by

I'll lose another pet

Bring it with me to the deep lake

Of tears I never let

At the bottom of my own heart

The days will just reset.
