Caged Heart

by Kuro   Mar 16, 2011


I've locked away my heart
So that no one might touch
No more pain to bury
Involuntary crutch

Caged inside there is hope
To one day open up
Apathetic and numb
Just a half empty cup

But then you came to me
Just like a mystic dream
Brightening this dungeon
Restoring self-esteem

I opened up this cage
And let you in my heart
No longer half empty
Let's never be apart

    I love reading your poetry. They always inspire me and give me hope and knowledge..that i am not as alone as i thought and neither are my friends who have felt scared from time to time. Even though you write of sadness, loss and general bleh feelings, you write it all perfectly..

    :] AWWWWH that's cute. I think everyone does this at some point. Locks away from the world because someone pushed them to the edge. But even though we've been hurt so badly we still have hope that one day someone will save us from the past and help us walk into the future. I see that message very clearly in this poem. Although it was a simple piece you were able to spice it up with some very good diction. I loved the tone of the piece and how it followed the lines of the poem. At first the tone was sad and a little somber. But once this new person came in your words spoke the hope you wrote about. I loved the imagery as well. I could picture you in a room by yourself waiting for someone to find you and give you the love you need. Great work indeed. :] -Nik
