Me, Watashiwa, Ya

I lie here in bed,

Closing my eyes,

trying to sleep,

thoughts of you creep in my head,

all through the night

dwelling in feelings so deep

i cant shut them out

i cant say it aloud

but i wish i had them stout

to get me high and knocked out

but that’s only with you

my darling you

i let my guard down

i watch you clown around

you holding me secretly

how i wish you were here with me

as we both slowly seep into dreams…

You look me between the bars

You smile at me

You bring all your friends

You showcase me

Here I am sitting and looking at you

I yell “help me”

I am caged in here

You get excited hearing my chirping

You tell me

What a good bird I have been

All I want is you to touch me once

To be in your arms

To be loved, to be warm

But all I am to you

Is the pet you feed

The one who lifts you up

When you feel down and bleak
