Jailed Bird(Song)

by Lady Nik   Apr 21, 2009


Jailed bird fly away from here. Nowhere to be found once you disappear. What have you done with my heart? I need the light, take me from the dark. Jailed bird to often gone. Locked out and on your own. Take the pain, take the fear. Jailed bird fly away from here.

Why am I this way? Burnt down through ashes. I'm just a piece of prey. Like it matters, you don't care anyway. Just leave me to melt with the day. Just so you know, I'm hurt. I did what you asked, but didn't get what I deserved. Promises are just pretty lies. Wrapped around trust living on imaginary time. You love to pretend, it's all the same. Wings stretched out, ready to fly to a different place.

Jailed bird fly away from here. Nowhere to be found once you disappear. What have you done with my heart? I need the light, take me from the dark. Jailed bird to often gone. Locked out and on your own. Take the pain, take the fear. Jailed bird fly away from here.

Pick me up and knock me down. But runaway when I frown. It's all on the inside now. Take you're time to mess up. Blame no one for the break in us. Screaming to lose time. Crying to the dream to slay the knife. Take it back just take it back. Don't tell me to calm down and relax. Trying to be strong, then I relapse.

Jailed bird fly away from here. Nowhere to be found once you disappear. What have you done with my heart? I need the light, take me from the dark. Jailed bird to often gone. Locked out and on your own. Take the pain, take the fear. Jailed bird fly away from here.

Don't say you're sorry. Or that it was a mistake. Don't say you didn't mean it, because it's too late. I'm older now and you aren't my friend. Perched on my window seal, but you can't come in. Just let me go, this time I'm letting you know. I won't forgive you, not anymore. Not anymore.

Jailed bird fly away from here. Nowhere to be found once you disappear. What have you done with my heart? I need the light, take me from the dark. Jailed bird to often gone. Locked out and on your own. Take the pain, take the fear. Jailed bird fly away from here.

*For Richard Minter..my dad who is currently in jail*

    This was a awesome poem. I hope that your dad gets out soon or when its his time. Sorry though. Well at any rate the emotion in the poem was obvious and the flow was good though it didn't seem to be a structure poem. The rhyme was good as well. So for the most part this was a good heart filled poem.
