soft and delicate
i feared for your life
and took you home
you were getting ready for eternal sleep
but i was not
i gently shook you awake
offering nectar of a flower you love
you stretched your wings and took drink
i smiled in relief and took one blink
in a second while my eyes closed
you were no longer with me
your tongue still out and my tears falling
gently brushing you
no longer soft, no longer warm
your tongue still out and your eyes shallow
Birdy Birdy, stiff and lifeless
Birdy Birdy, why'd you leave?
Birdy Birdy, weren't you okay?
Birdy Birdy, why'd you drink? only to trick me?
Birdy Birdy, you left me wailing and crying and screaming why
Birdy Birdy
I'm so sorry.
