Sparrow

8 1 1
                                    

There's a flutter in your ribs.

But it doesn't matter.

It's dying.


There's a smile on your lips.

But it doesn't matter.

You're crying.


There was a love once found and a love now lost.

To trade your heart was too much a cost.

A sparrow in your ribs and a heart locked in a cage.

And you're ripping apart this story, page by page.
