Sparrow

I close my eyes and I drift into another life
one where I'm only the sparrow in the window

my wings flutter fast and I see myself inside the glass
pacing and pondering how we fell from happy

my love she turns a shoulder
scrolls the web with her eyes glazed over

and I have seen it all
I've seen it all
I've seen it all

I fall to the ground, feel this darkness pull me down
and crash in a harrowing plume of smoke and feathers

she wanders over to piece me back together
