Leaving the Nest

What can I tell you? That it hurts because you left the nest? How can I tell you That I have an arrow in my chest- When can I tell you? Because I see that you too feel stressed Why should I tell you? When you know me best And our deep feelings can`t be truly expressed By poems, novels, stories and all the rest Yes, there are some things That don`t need to be confessed

It's almost a monorhyme. I really like this but it seems more like for a lover. Usually when I think of someone leaving the nest, it's a gown child. Did you mean it as a child by chance? It can also be a man. A creative way to show that.
