When I cried for help that night
I heard only my heartbeats,
Like a symphony of bird wings beating together
Setting sail for their long journey
To warmer countries.
And I knew I am alone as I always have been,
Even when laughing with friends,
Or kissing my love.
I learned this in a thousand ways,
In joy and in sadness, but I have always forgotten.
I am always taken by surprise,
And thrown in the bottom of my soul,
To get my way out. Again.
