My heart is a songless bird <br />Melting into a highway overpass <br />Where she crashed and burned. <br /> <br />I live in a room of mirrors <br />But they only reflect the past, <br />Short-lived joy doomed to be surpassed <br />With loneliness beneath a loveless moon. <br /> <br />See me rummaging through the trash <br />Searching for a bouquet <br />You threw away years ago. <br /> <br />I want to walk half-drunk <br />On the midnight streets <br />Of a ruthless city’s worse neighborhoods <br />Until the last drop <br />Of my murdered blood seeps <br />Into the dirty drains <br />Of emotional defeat.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-heart-is-a-songless-bird/
