Description We all know how this song ends, little bird
        your 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.

Beautiful pain!  

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

Wow!
