My Pet

I once had a bird
as pretty as could be.
With beautiful colors
for everyone to see.

I loved my bird
very much you see.
I trusted my bird
would never fly from me.

I would sit for hours
listening to your pretty songs
Why didn't I see
you were going to leave me?

One day it happened,
the bird flew free.
I didn't realize
that the bird was smarter than me.

Away the bird flew
but I could not see.
Broken hearted memories
is all I have left of thee.

I hope my bird is happy
wherever you may be.
I have another pet
with no wings to fly away from me.
