this little winged creature

has made a nice little home

up on my shoulder

nestled close to me

the first few days were quite awkward indeed

it seems as if its only there to hassle me

make things once so easy as hard as can be

then i noticed it was  growing on me

as i watch it grow

the change it goes

i guess it wants something worth flying away to

but thats just me trying to understand everything i hear and see.

like all we've been through 

how could i want it to vanish...

when my decisions aren't pure

it shuns away from me slightly

just enough to watch over me

eventually i took advantage of a good thing

when i wanted to escape it flew me away

when i withdrew it put up a shield to protect me

and as i slept it watched and promised to never forget me

but one day it flew

away...

in my mind it promised to sty

it whispered assurance and confidence

wth promises to return

i feel used

like a step in order to go

or a door knob

with no excuse to leave

in just doing so 

as i watched it fly away 

it whithered and then grew

inside me

& my own pair of wings

came and...
