Sorrow For The Songbird

Sorrow For The Songbird

A Poem by Travis Prino

She sings herself to sleep

but no one hears the sound

she sings so gracefully

but the pain it just surrounds

she sings to be set free

as the blood begins to drip down

she's singing to me

but I can not be found


she's leaving the world tonight

because this pain she could no longer fight

she doesn't realize what she's leaving behind

I couldn't take away the pain she held inside

and while she's fading out of sight

her song is echoing in my mind

and it's beautiful

it's beautiful

it's beautiful like she was


she sings herself to sleep

but no one knows she's there

she sings of misery

cause no one seems to care

she's singing on her knees

as she drowns herself in tears

she's singing for peace

but she can't cope with the fear


she's leaving the world tonight

because this pain she could no longer fight

she's doesn't realize what she's leaving behind

I couldn't take away the pain she held inside

and while she's fading out of sight

her song is echoing in my mind

and it's beautiful

it's beautiful

it's beautiful like she was


she sings because she can

she sings of distant lands

where her mom and dad aren't gone

it's been this way for far too long

she sings to heal her heart

cause it's been ravaged from the start

and as the end is drawing near

she sings one last time for everyone to hear

but I'm the only one not covering my ears


she's leaving the world tonight

because this pain she could no longer fight

she doesn't realize what she's leaving behind

I couldn't take away the pain she held inside

and while she's fading out of sight

her song is echoing in my mind

and it's beautiful

it's beautiful

it's beautiful like she was


she sang her heart out

she sang till her heart stopped

sorrow for the songbird.
