"My little bird"

A cage made of steel,held my little bird. The cold,hard metal confining within the small holding area.

A few seeds and a small,chipped tea cup with water decorating the empty space.

I was in love.

Everyday,I would return home,allowing the bird to fly from its cage around my small room.

It would fly,flutter and sing. Seeming entirely too smart,as he would sit on my wooden bookshelf and stare into my eyes.

The more the bird trusted me,the freer I let it be. Taking it outside,so he could fly around the barren tree branches,tasting the crispness of the winter air.

"Oh,its beautiful" He would chirp happily.

Again,I was in love.

I held his tiny body close,and whispered in his ear."Forever"

But,forever never lasts.

I get paranoid,I always lose the things closest to me.

I began torturing my little bird,not feeding him for days. Then over-feeding him to make him sick.

Locked him in his cage for a week,then pulled out his feathers when he was growing.

I was losing my mind.

His blue eyes looked up at me with hate,"All I want is my freedom"He screamed

Gripping my head,I fell to the ground. "No,you can't. You can't fend for yourself"

"I don't need you anymore"

I could physically feel,the pieces of my heart breaking away and flowing down my bloodstream.

Or maybe it was the tears,dripping out from under my eyes .Drying on my face,as the brutal wind of the English winter that blew around me.

"I loved you"

That time my heart fell right out of the left-side of my chest. It landed in front of me,in a heap of bleed, pulsing.

"Its for you"I choked,looking up at his beautiful face. To be greeted by the look of disgust.

He grabbed me up by my hair,I could taste his hot-breath licking my ear.

"Forever"

It dripped down my back,causing goosebumps to raise along my body.

My face heated again with fresh tears,their salty flavor filling my mouth.

He dropped me,right there.

In the mess of what used to be the greatest man alive.

I watched him walk away,my vision blurring with his every step. "Please,don't leave me" I barely managed to choke out.

He turned a his heel,marched over to me,kneel and looked into my eyes.

Those blue eyes,that once sparked such a great happiness inside of me.

These are the same eyes that were now bearing into mine a stake of hatred and possible pity.

"You were once so great"
