I got drunk on a lie
And you turned me
Into a bird
With feathers of gold,
And silver, and
Lace
And lashes so
Long and
Glorious
My wild hair
Fell to my
Shoulders
And my
Hips
And I could fly
To the tune of
My heartbeat
Fluttering
Fluttering
Fluttering
You ruined
Me
That night
But the stars
Laughed as we
Sang into the
Darkness
Feeling the
Sweet summer
Settle onto
Our bare skin
I was a bird
And I flew into
The nest of your
Gaze
And you held
Me
So tightly,
Wrapped around
My waist
And I sang
I sang for you
And for me
And for the
Hope of tomorrow
That drunken
Dreams were
Reality
That the wealth
Of a thousand
Passionate
Kisses
Could sustain
Your shallow
Breath
And muted eyes
I was a bird
And I flew
Naked into
Your heart
Without a
Care or
A worry
Riding a
Liquid wave
Of a fool’s
Dream
I was magic
I was divine
I was innocent
And true
I was a bird
And you
Swallowed me
Whole
And I flung
Myself
Into your arms
And cried
