To the Birds

Why do I still write to you?

It has not nearly been a while.

I need a place to put these feelings.

Are they even strong enough to leave?


The hardest cry I ever put into the sky,

is the one you wrestled from my chest.

How is it, that you ever held that power?

If I miss you again, tell me to not return.


If I love you again, I'll struggle to stay awake.

if I remain alone will my eyes stay open?

If I miss you again I'll tell myself, first,

feed my body to the birds.


Let me, before I reach for your hand,

Feed my body to the birds.
