demanding food water shelter.. songs games ... love.
did you demand?
maybe not.
you came and we made space because we had
you were our guest and you were to have the best
a personal games ic
as large a cage
and a room to fly free most of the day
sunflower seeds and paper
and us.
to feed you.talk to you. clean up after you. sing to you. love you. just love you.
you also taught us to grieve, after you left, cleaving our hearts in two
there is a lovebird shaped hole in our lives and hearts no and we learn to plaster over it
it will never fully heal you know
but
as we learned to grow around you
so we learn to grow around your absence too
for that is what plants, weedz creepers do. what humans do. we learn to adjust.
you
you taught us love and loss, joy and grief, patience.
