She came to us already full of life
Beautiful and scaredShe'd take top perch
Above the doveShe was angry
But full of loveA thing of impeccable posture
A living thing of grace and colourSomething untouched and free
Yet willingly stuck in a cageShe wouldn't want to leave
She loved her homeThe window was always open and sometimes and she'd look out far
I guess if you never go anywhere you always know right where you areShe's been around since I was little
I loved her then and nowI think only now of times wasted
Pictures untaken
Things not doneI'm willing to believe that you always feel like that when you're the one
The last to see something aliveWell she was always pretty but death didn't suit her
She was alone when it happenedShe simply ceased without warning
Without a noiseShe looked so healthy in her cage
She seemed so happy at homeI saw her then and I see her now
Life doesn't last and age is unavoidableI loved her then and I love her now
She was always with me
Quiet but soulfulShe would rarely squeal with excitement
But surely you would react when she didI miss her now that she's gone but never so much before
It just goes to shows you how much you take things for granted for sureWell I saw her last only a night ago
But before the next morning, her body grew coldIf it wasn't enough that I was last to see her lively
I first found her motionless tooShe was always so pretty and death didn't suit her
The air was stale and the room so chillShe was distorted
Her body contortedLike she fell standing
Crumpled to where she's now stayingShe died alone and lastly looked to me
Her eyes wouldn't closeShe stared at me without forgiveness
Without loveI felt guilty though I was without fault
I felt lonely though surrounded by those that knew her wellI couldn't shake her gaze
Though she was buried hours agoI can't shake the feeling I should've known
I could've stopped it if I was more observantHer color hadn't faded
Vigor intact
Her beauty unmatchedBut her window was closed
