the Cage

hold me tight

please

just one last time

don’t cry

please

we knew this would be

kiss me

please

just one last time

let me go

please

we knew this would be

all we had

were stolen moments

hidden in the shadows

away from

eyes that judged

that condemned

that

eventually

destroyed

love

is supposed to be beautiful

something two people

share

regardless

of the

differences between them

we did love

we do love

we will always love

but

we cannot love

we are not allowed

love is a caged bird

that is only set free

when society allows

our cage

will never be open

so

let me go

find someone

who can open the cage
