Kookaburra laugh

Empty words are not enough
to console me these days
I need to be alone
well hell I am alone
as I try and deal with these blues

I sit here next to a pond
watching nature at its best
birds chirping
flapping their wings
as they fly above majestically
and rudely leave their 'plops' behind
Bloody birds!

Tears cascading down my face
as I throw stones in the water
each ripple representing the pain
I am enduring
love is never easy to let go
especially one's that were
never yours to begin with

A loud laughter I suddenly hear
Oh kookaburra must you mock me?
Well I guess there's no one else
here to see me but you

I continued throwing stones
as the kookaburra continued laughing
KOOKOOKAKAKA
as I threw a stone
a sudden gust of wind
blew in my direction
birds out of sight
all I heard was silence
I was alone once more

Oh kookaburra please
laugh once again
I didn't mean to stone you
just laugh once again
please stay with me
I don't want to be alone
