So there was this ugly bird you see
sat by me and mocked my misery
started the day you went away...
"He said I'll be back.." stated this ugly bird of Prey.
The bird knew me well enough to know
I tried so hard to not let it show
how much I hated to see you go
and make this birds face shine and glow.
The bird cocked His head and with false tenderness
regarding my unhappiness and joylessness..
said "My dear... He left you this aweful
letter
"A jumbled bunch of lies tucked in his ugly sweater!"
And the ugly truth of his words overcame
His laugh drilled straight into my brain
His mirth was making me insane.
I pretended once again this Bird did not exist
that His words will soon disist
"He said to you
I will never leave you!"
His evil beak broke into a grin
my thoughts were filled with tasty sin
murderous morsels of lovely rage
tasted like cherries and sugar and sage;
and the seeds felt almost chewy
so juicey it...
"Even dumb little you shouldn't have been sold
the biggest lie anyone ever told!
(...an idea I began to mold...)
He said I love you so much my dear!"
Did this Bird really just laugh and sneer?
...and before He could say another word
I threw a mallet at this ugly Bird
and I felt and tasted the seeds of flavor
pop in my mouth.. I stood and relived and savored..
That ugly bird fell hard with a thud
and I happily buried Him in the mud.
but I did remember to pluck a mangy feather
and stuck it in your ugly sweater
and howled my mourning at the moon
vowing to my Bird
My love... Forgive me.
I will be seeing you soon.
