i.
Blue-bird wings I painted for you once reflect our love seen through my eyes now proof of my de-oxidized blood.
ii.
My lungs collapsing my face now mimicking my feathers shading scheme. You called it kissing I call it filling me with the tar which was your stagnant soul.
iii.
I'd long for my last breath to be an act of futility, inhaling warm waters of surrender rather than have these thorns penetrate my heart so intensely my soul cries in agony.
My pleas my prayers granted.
