The Colour of Sadness

little birdy

Once there was a girl
Half-full, half-empty
See it how you want

Once there was a girl
And she craved freedom
Like the little canary in a cage

Once there was a girl
Who found the sugar to her salt
And it made her feel complete

The sugar was sweet
The jar in her heart
Was half empty, but now it was full

But the sugar had already found
The salt to her sugar
She didn't want to stay
She didn't want to accompany
The little canary in the cage anymore

The little canary flew away
The little canary broke free
The little canary wanted to save
The girl who unlocked her cage

Even if she was the devil
Even if she was wrong
Even if the whole world turned against her

Once there was a girl,
Who wanted to be by the side
Of the person she loved most

The canary sang, it sang of hope
And friendship and light
Of love and warmth
It sang to the soul that set it free
It sang from the bottom of its heart

The voice of the little canary
Soared through the sky
It wanted her to know
It wanted to save her
From the breaking jar in her heart

Once there was a girl,
Who wanted to stay by the side
Of the person she loved most
She wanted to sing to her
Till the end of time

But alas, with the stab of a knife
The little canary's voice
Caught in its throat
With its last dying song
It tried to save the soul
Which gave her wings

But it was too late, and the little canary
Could sing no more

Once there was a girl,
Who found the salt to her sugar
She didn't need anything else
But the taste of sweet and salty
On her tongue

She didn't need, the little canary that sang to her every day.

"You killed that little bird, didn't you?"

Inspired by Happy Sugar Life! (Really recommend this show it's kind of disturbing and the complete opposite of what the name suggests but it's really well executed and I loved it.)
