MAGPIE

o beaut

magpie !

inquisitive

brown eyes

feathered

blue heart

i see u

everywhere

well at least

i think i do

sometimes

when i close

my eyes u

are flyin

above me

sometimes

u visit at

night in my

dreams u

come to me

singin me

lullabies

u tell me

everythin is

gonna be

okay sweet

thing and im

tryin hard

to believe u

but dreams

don’t talk

truth no more

and i can’t

see ursa

major no more

and i can’t

hear ur voice

no more and

i just want

to hold u

close let me

be ur nest

but ur

so far

away
