Parakeet

Hard as nails

Far from green

You're the strongest one

I've ever seen

Your beak burns red

Ever full of fight

I can see it in your eyes

In your bold golden eyes

There isn't much i can give you

Not as much as i would like to

I know you don't ask for much

You coo "i don't have to"

And that my broken/growing heart is all you want from me

To make as good as new

I'm so grateful you look out for me

So I try to do for you

Take flight

Return when you have to

I'll be perched on the branch here

Waiting for you

Take flight

Return when you want to

I'll be here with my open heart

That's the best I can do
