The pen races across the page
As she sits pretty in her cage.
The birds outside all sing their songs
But her song voice has long since gone.

To taste her flesh between his jaws.

And dreams of long since forgotten days.

And into freedom's arms she goes.
Flies straight towards those song bird calls
But hits the window pane and darkness falls.

Heart beating fast, joyous at his luck.
His dream served up on a plate
But emptiness is all he ate.
