There is a magpie in my garden, he’s been there all week,

Just one lonely magpie, so sad and bleak,

I look at this magpie and he reminds me of you,

A mysterious creature, black, white, and a little blue,

He cawed to me twice in my life, with a warning from the land of decay,

And the reaper without even a whisper stole you and him away.

Today the magpie sat down beside me to comfort me while I cry,

He asked me to tell him about you, so I comply,

He was odd and he was kind, he was special in my eyes,

He was crazy obsessive, loyal, and protective,

He drove me mental but made me feel accepted,

He was my family, the one I choose, the one I wanted.

The magpie smiled and shed a tear “Tell me more, I like to hear,”

He loved how boyish I could be, I played the Xbox and talked filth,

He found it funny when I cursed, checked out women and burped,

I loved how sweet he could be, texting and calling to check up,

He was like a brother, I know he would defend me no matter what.

Then the magpie turned to fly away “Anything else to say?”

I will always be his first kiss and he will always be my best friend,

I hope to know him in all my lives, he was truly one of a kind,

And when the moon shines bright at night,

I’ll think of him my darling light,

You’ve gone to the house of Donn, may you forever live on.
