Tiny heartbeat

Tiny heartbeat within a feathered breast

Tiny little swallow; held within my grasp
I feel your fear; my dear little guest
I want to help you: want you to last
So I must chase you; capture you
Please little swallow; stay still; silently; I plead
I need to catch you; hold you; scold you
Outside; I will release you; will that please you?
Outside; your mother calls you: she loves you
She knows just how much this scares you
Who dares you to enter within this foreign place?
Please little swallow; make haste; come to me
Let me aid you; abet you; don't want to upset you
I just want to free you; want to let you escape
