Sometimes I feel they've grown too attached...

too close to me over the years..

They've grown jealous they've grown cold..

They'll cage me and clip my wings I fear.

Then he can only perch upon the windowsill... my sad sweet song to hear...

Then someday he'll fly away...

Someday they'll die away..

Then in my cage I'll die alone.

Never allowed to fly free, never with him to share that tree...

I'll just starve alone.

Cuz an old bird I will be, and with no eggs to come of me.. What sort of bird would want me?

Because of them I'd die alone...
Just a poem that came to mind. It's about my parents & I.. they had me when mom was 40 & dad was even older. I was their last born child & their 1st girl. They've treasured me & spoiled me a lot over the years, but sometimes I feel they've grown too protective & possessive & that they might drive away the only man I've ever loved & make an old maid out of me because they don't know how they could live without me & don't want to let me go... because of that they set their standards impossibly high, pretend to be disappointed with everything my boyfriend does & use a microscope to look for things he's doing wrong & I don't want them to drive us apart. I'm almost 25 & I'm ready to settle down & begin a life.. I'm not their little girl anymore & they can't keep me here forever!

I don't own the picture, it's from an image search.
