Description
We all know how this song ends, little birdyour last line, merely fog on the glass
is breaking the camel's back
and
my heart.
Quietly, you tear yourself apart
leaving much to be desired between the
sinews, fibers, and breaths you gave away
but never kept any for yourself
I pierce my ears with brittle bones
weaving my thoughts into blindness
so that I may not see the way
I cannot take care of you.
-D.E.M

Beautiful pain!
leaving much to be desired between the
sinews, fibers, and breaths you gave away
but never kept any for yourself
Wow!
