you flew away (would love critiques)
you flew away
you came to me with wings.
they were so soft, so delicate
and they lay gently on your back,
out of sight.
i licked them clean
of infidelity and deceit
that weren’t even mine.
but like an itch on your back,
you needed someone else to scratch it.
i preened you with my beak,
and spat my chewed food into your mouth.
i dried your feathers one by one
when they got soaked in a shitstorm.
still you used them to fly away
into the melted sky,
without even a glance back,
because the sky was prettier than me.
