Little bird of the night

You say I look at you like I’m eyeing my prey no darling I look at you in awe of how much you shine how your eyes light up when you think or are happy when the lighting hits it just right it’s like the sky is you, not the ocean because you’re a bird meant to fly not be drowned in the fragments of your history. You may say they are like oceans you drown in forbidden tales of sleepless nights yearning for safety but let me build you a raft and carry you home. You’re safe now rest little bird no one will hurt you or clip your wings fly on to the night
