it's funny how i've developed a peculiar sort of ferocity towards keeping you in place
a mother bird, a bird of prey
i treat you like a child, something i must protect
and i've never felt this way
never felt scared
like i at last have something
something delicate to hold close
something worth it to protect
something at last to lose
