(AN: Muse is the same as every poem since To My Lili Marlene.)

Kindred Soul

I watched the dolphin swimming in his concrete pen.
How long was he there, he can't remember when.
Last he rode upon the crest of the free wave.
Or feasted on the bounty of God, strong to save.

Even alone he's friendly.
In many ways he's like me.
Then the sea whispers behind the wall.
A place to which a baby could easily crawl.

Then something inside him dies.
As none hear his silent cries.
He and I are very much kindred souls.
We've lost something in our respective roles.

When I see couples walking arm in arm.
Even though its inadvertent they cause me harm.
Even lonely I'm still friendly.
For there's still hope inside me.

Then I see you two together.
Then I go under the weather.
As something inside me dies.
Mercy to my silent cries.

The dolphin of the concrete pool.
Who never had to subject himself to rule.
Peers out at the stars in the sky.
He doesn't have tearducts, but he can still cry.

For those stars guide him to places.
And to friendly delphine faces.
Where he can now no longer go.
Instead in his prison he dies slow.

He'll never see his pod again.
In silence he endures the pain.
Kindred you my friend, are we.
I lost a chance for love dear to me.

If your heart truly belongs to him.
Go to him with your heart, my circumstances grim.
Go with my full blessing, my Lili Marlene.
Don't mind the anguish, hurt and pain.

I love you enough to let you choose.
Even if in the end I do lose.
I wish you would share my love.
I've prayed for that from God above.

Again I am the dolphin of the concrete tank.
Whose abraisions run all down his flank.
You and I are alike, oh kindred soul.
You were not meant to be confined in a fishbowl.

And I was not meant to feel loss and heartache.
But I'll deal with it for her sake.
Though I feel lost, unhappy, and dejected.
At least gently was I rejected.

For she is still my friend.
Hopefully this will have a happy end.
However even a gilded cage is just that.
The dolphin's pen, a gilded cage at that.
