I watched as the cold rain washed over everything,
The dark clouds carrying irreversible pain.
I held the caged bird within cold hands,
I cradled within my heart- the warmth of his plans.
I watched as the water blurred the window,
The room overtaken by a lonely, devoid shadow.
The bird struggled against the empty walls,
His cage captivating his every broken call.
He fought his fate with every last breath,
Until his lungs were empty- nothing left.
I watched the body tremble and fall,
His throat echoing one final call.
I begged as my heart shattered in pain,
I cried in hopes that I could somehow make him stay.
Finally, I embraced the blame,
I had forgotten that life is more than just a game.
His soul had already flown away,
As he left me staring at the window- alone in the rain.
