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,...
