Making friends and acquaintances

loose-lipped secrets

i've seen those birdies chirping

another promise perched on their fragile branches

cradle and all



we all hide a diary beneath some matress

and someone has slept in my bed

sometimes i get so naked i sing like a canary

and i scream out what i shouldn't scream



some lies last a lifetime

they keep our diaries hidden

they don't let the whispers slip

between the cracks of the bathroom stalls

or be written on the bathroom walls...



but still i can hear those dirty birds chirp away

it's a song i know by heart

sometimes i resent

making friends and acquaintances

it's a thin veil between us -



between the bedsprings and the mattress

i keep my secrets

the ones i can't keep

the ones you took from me

the ones you scattered with your wings



it was nice to meet you
