Running and stumbling
Just to see you
Whining and crying
Hoping this isn't true

I throw open the door
I run with all of my might
Jumping over the chairs and trash
Then I see a terrible sight

You're lying on the ground
Your body, cold and lifeless
I can't believe it
I'm attacked by the darkness

I'm on my knees
Holding you close
I tell myself that this is a dream
That I'll wake up

But I don't

I wonder if this is the appropriate time
But I think I finally have the courage to ask,
"Have I found you, flightless bird?"
A little poem 'bout my recently deceased pet, BigBird. She was an emu, hence her name and "Flightless bird" in the title. Emu's are really big birds and have wings about the size of their heads, which in turn, would make them flightless lol.
