Little Bird

Past happiness is what keeps me here You wish to stay and sing along content with your surroundings. Yet you knew I can't accept that. You say I'm your little bird The bird with no cage The cage with no latch. How can you not know? I am in your cage, the cage of "I love You"s and "We'll go away together someday"s You are my cage, I use to be happy in it But you had to go and lie You had to lose my trust. I have let you out of your cage and if you continue to lie I will let myself out of mine. I am not your little bird. I am not your pet. I have my own set of wings. I have my own set of talons. Don't make me use them.
