13 Ghost

To the walls that I always seem to be speaking my mind to...

I know why

I know why the caged bird sings
It sings because it's health is now failing
With no room to fly it slowly falls to the floor
No one hears the last song from its cold dead core
All I did was ask that bird to sing my songs
It tried so many ways to perch upon my wrist
Now the bird is gone
But I'm remaining numb
Instead of shedding tear I clench my fist

Lets poison the water
That way it will get to them somehow
Seal up every way of getting further
A way to get them down it seems we've found

This is the end of you and me
You've drifted too far for me to see
Don't go now
Are you listening?
I cannot dwell
On my dead friends

I know why those black birds sing
They screech across my ears with their wailing
They choose not to fly but simply gnaw on the door
Any way to end up never more

Point at every star and see which fits
The life that we will have if we are truly this
Are we something more?
Are we something of a storm?
I am still here waiting
And you are no longer warm

Goodnight my friend
Goodnight In every sense
This book will now close
With chapters left unread
