For her

We're no more than birds afraid to see the light of day.
We're inevitable.
We're nearly lost.
We lean on each other for survival.
We're bound to fall, one day.

I'm flightless, unlike you.
I'm no more than a coward.
I lose my sound at the worst of times.
I hide and fly away from everything.
Give me time, just a little more.
I'll make a home in me for you,
Because what we have now is starting to be a wreck.
The encumbrance; sad, but true.
