songbird

I once saw as an innocent song bird
needing to be released from her cage
Beauty, exotic something no one should possess
Untarnished was my view of you
my little songbird

But now your cage has been broken
your beauty became my undoing
through the world you soared
feathers growing dark

innocence no longer revels within you

habits of evil and dirty deeds
carcass from carcass you soar
soon i realize you were no songbird
you were a crow- a crow disguised
what to do i think

my beloved songbird
i let you go-yet threw a lovers glassy eyes
i watch wishing for the caged songbird of long ago
