Tell the birds she's gone
banished from their paradise
like summer defeat by the rain
hanging over her heart, cold clouds
and sharp splinters
when everything out there
even the most silent sorrow
spelling out his name forever
and oh, so more so

Tell the birds the pain looks like her
that her bones are now soaked
of this fear she has always known
wondering how to be able
to still live in this lone and narrow skin
without him so she can breathe

Tell the birds she counts in miles
in the starry skymap of the night
from their lips to their souls
too late to take'em back
like two scared wild wolves
howling in the hole of their chest
missing air, slowly suffocate

Tell the birds she was like a child
and love, a gun in her hands
his name stirs, shakin' in her head
but albeil she was broken
she was this bright, breathtaking storm
reaching the rough ocean's shores
of his mind

Tell the birds his voice was like a song
that gently cared
for her darkest secrets wounds
but while the words were dancing
fluttering on her uncanny, splenetic
mouth and tongue
he was strangely tasting like sweet
home

But now,
you told that bird you're gone
And still yet,
the pieces you'd left
of your heart
match the pieces missing
from mine
and making me whole

[for we are only one]

And trauma had held us
longer, stronger and closer
than our two bodies
gathered together
into one place, one piece
will never ever could

But then, she will tell you
She has been keeping
and will always keep
these timeless and lovely memories
of your love.



[So please, tell me
Are you gonna be home again?]
