Literature Text
When all I want to do is say goodbye
to a sanctuary made for all but me,
I lay and listen to their senseless banter
as I forget what it feels like to be free.
To be wanted, to be needed,
differs most to where I must belong.
Remaining silent in the dimlit room,
reminded of the most poignant song.
But the bird cannot fly with tear soaked wings
nor the butterfly when its wings are torn.
I cannot sing with sadness in my heart
but sing I must for my soul to be reborn.

Literature
'gainst the willow.
‘gainst the willow.
Forlorn, I found her
Folded ‘gainst the willow
Unwarned, she met me
Resting on a moss pillow
My hands reached to take her
But my arms would not move
Of my own plans for capture
My conscience disapproved
So my eyes did the catching
And they caught her well
Broken, a fallen hatchling
For she, too, had fell
A burden shared ‘neath the boughs
Giving all that I could
An oath with no vows
She couldn’t, so for two, I stood
Literature
Untitled
I feel like I died a long time ago
And only my ghost walks the earth
In pain
And howling
Literature
Springtime
The snow has all gone
Robins flit across the lawn
Spring has come again

This is a lovely poem! It flows so well that it's great to read. It's also kinda sweet and sad at the same time... Good job!
