Flying Dreams Leave Us All Lonely

Hummingbirds
We drink until
Our quick hearts burst
Sweet things
Sugar water

Darling, I think you're beautiful
With beautiful bones 
Inside your beautiful body
Sweetheart, I think you're a stunner
Your pretty lashes and
Hidden smile
I can't look you in the eyes anymore
And it's a shame

Hummingbirds
The males tout 
Their fashionable feathers
But we look good 
All plain

We're bad in formal wear
Disasters with updo hair
It doesn't suit our broke out skin 
And natural locks
You look best in 
Shredded jeans so I can see your pale knees
You  look great with your hair all wavy 
And mousy brown

Hummingbirds
We're past drunk
Dive-bombing one another
When flitting
Gets old

You move too fast, too far
I move too fast to nowhere
We could never stay long here
You because you're light and free
Me because I'm scared
We just can't build a nest
With all this wind
Tree branches whip away

Good morning
Hummingbird
Fight the crows
Screaming with witch songs
Good morning

This was all only
A good bad dream
