Deception

Through the cold night
I think of the homeless bird
seeking shelter under my roof
There's room for the twittering avian
A warm space by the ceilings
Not an imposition if the night is as calm as the 
silver moon that sneak past a dark cloud
And so this, a companion to accompany 
me through the gaping holes of my endless 
nightmares
And yet in the comfort of an estranged guest my 
heart hints a feeling of lies with half a hope and 
half a despair.
