With your love you’ve caged me
as you would a bird

Trapped and flightless neither singing
Nor crooning any word

My body fails, I fall apart,
My feeling leaves me

My voice will not sound, my heart hardly beats
I fall to the ground the cold place where I sleep


With every whim and in any way
I pray that someday I will get away

Far away from your love
That has caged me in

And bring my back my heart
That wants to begin

Back to another time
Back to the first line my life once ran on

Far away from this love that
You’ve brought down upon me
An old song inspired by something a friend, at the time, said. They have come to influence me more than I ever would have thought.

Thank you for finding a place in my heart.

P.s any suggestions on how to make this flow better as a poem would be greatly appreciated!
