Bird of Prey

Soaring high in the sky,
I could never reach you,
Preyed on my heart,
I just could not defy you,

A fleeting night of passion,
Spent hours tracing your ink,
Wrapped in your warm wings, 
Felt like I could never sink,

Caged in your strong arms,
Dreaming possibilities forbidden,
Have to let you go soon, 
Can't reality just stay hidden,

Million promises we made,
But now you've gone too far away,
Taking your warmth with you,
Can you not stay?

Soared high on your wings, 
keeping reality at bay, 
In those moments you were mine,
My own bird of prey.
