THE CAGED BIRD

Take my hand on a night like this
Squeeze it so tight and never let go
Keep me close to your pure, warm heart

Just a little tighter
Just might slip away

Catch my memories
Before they slip into oblivion
Cradle me asleep for me to feel safe

All this you give to me
All this I pull from you

Though I requite your love
You give me more
I'm the beast, you're the beauty

So pure and innocent
Why do you let me wreck you?

But I know for sure, without you
I'd slowly crumble asunder and fall
Why you take pity on my heretic masquerade
I'll probably never know, but I know for sure
I need you
I love you
I'd die for you

And through the bars of my prison
While draining my heart on a night like this
I can't stop thinking;
Aren't wild birds extreemly free?
And a drop fall from my eye
It just fell...
As I keep on twirling down

This is a sadly beautiful poem. A caged bird never sings as sweetly as one freed.

Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox

I know I'm really late in responding to this, but poetry is never too old to be appreciated. I was beginning to wonder about you Broken and even a little bit worried but it looks like you're doing okay (But still depressed..remember...true happiness lies within us all). I'm glad you found someone to love and someone that loves you...it's always a precious gift. Your poem was so beautiful...honest...mellow..I like the way you bare your soul. It's wonderful.
