My heart beats in a steel
cage, beating against the
cold sides, moving to each
corner trying to find the door
release me please before
I turn to stone, the rythem
slowly fading.
He never will release me
because i'm good for show
th perfect one, who can
spread  green fire of jealousy
and envy through all hearts
I don't need you anymore, i found
the door waiting wide open for me
Falling away from that cape is the
hardest thing to do, you will never
if you will be allowed to drop
or someone will catch your heart
and keep it safe for you
I need my heart back so don't let
it fall
The rythm of my heart gets stronger
and I know I  will survive.....

This poem is Powerful Ina! It's great and it really spoke to me. Sounds like a one-sided relationship...and I know those can really hurt. I hope that everything turns out okay for you. Hang in there.

I also hope everything turns out fine for you.  I love how you compared this to being caged in, your words are very powerful in the beginning of the poem.  nicely done!
