Making too many adjustments, I thought this was just meant To be Temporary. Dying inside – concealing the pain with a smile Once in a while I need to breathe… To be free… to cry To wonder why I have to endure this all, no one that I can call To console me… who understands me! I can’t begin To tell you the ways I deal with this torture This rage… Trapped in a cage Of loneliness Iron bars built high on Love – or at least that once was Now all that’s left is bitterness and regret Hardened by memories I can’t forget The love has rusted from mistrust Chipped and decayed from pointless arguments That had no value - that didn’t make sense Broken pieces lay on the floor Too fragile to pick up – too precious to destroy So I sit near it on the ground not listening to a sound Deep in thought as I stare at our broken love That once was My beautiful paradise instead of The rusted remains Of my raging cage
