the owl and him

Full moon walks to the birdhouse
with lips sealed and memory revealed
A young man carries everything he's lost
While the biggest owl strikes melodies of night

Chords, they play inside his head
Memory repeats everything they've said
One she for him, a she who cares
A she who in reality was never there

He sits on wood, just like the owl
Together blackened, man and fowl
Fouler tears were cried and dried
No one knows what's held inside

Trust is something he can't do
It wasn't broken til he met you
You shattered trust as well as heart
A young man wishes death to start

Pour this nectar in his soul
Use your love to make him whole
Open up your concrete heart
Let love begin, let the healing start

The owl still perched upon that tree
Gazes at a man lost in memory
It sees a mouse and dives to kill
Silence echoes as all grows still
