I watched as a bird (Perched upon a limb) Fell to the water (And drowned from inside him) I wanted to save it (But there was no purpose I could serve) It sank deeper each day (With its own mind as a life preserver) I filled lungs when it needed to breathe (But God needs you to get air on your own) I wanted it to float (i think it wanted to drown) Wings are meant for flying in the clouds (Not swimming in the sea) So when you throw that empty bottle (Please God just don't hit me) although I'm not sure how much more pain you can cause me
