I'm a wingéd creature

A mutant freak

I'm in love with one like me

But I don't think he knows

I don't think he cares

I love him.

---

But I can't let it show

The Flock can't find out

I must be strong

Cannot be a dreamy-eyed girl

Mooning over Fang all day.

---

I've got work to do,

Mostly to stay alive

And to save the world, too.

---

Stay on task

Or I'll be last …

In the food chain

Of life.

The Eraser, Ari,

He loves me.

But he's my brother

(Half, but kin nonetheless)

I wish Fang

(Not kin, but family even more)

Could love me

Like Ari does … did.
