Uncaged

I think of you
Then look back up to the moon, in question and in rage
Why is it that I am so chained?

I dream of you
Will you understand me soon?
Where is it in your mind that I can't get to?

Alone and afraid
Until you push me down and I'm no longer a bringer of pain
Cursed and ashamed
I can't let this tear my life away
Eyes that hold confusion and reflect fear and determination

I yearn to show you
The softer creature inside of me
The gentle person
That I wish you would see

I reminisce a time
Before we were crossing such a fragile line
My thoughts were drawn but yours were to the side
Away from my hiding eyes
I was left to watch and stare
Now here I am, and why do I get the feeling
That you seem to care?

The hands that have held me down
When I thought no one could
The words that have brought me around
When I thought nothing ever would

Your presence calms me
A physical feature that I watch in silence
When can I feel the muscle of my cage once again
To pull me away from one half of my life I wish to end

My most natural being
Recognizes a voice
Reaches out to place a choice
In front of this most mysterious boy

I crawl to be alone
And I call to be answered
It's your reasoning that I listen
And it's my mistakes I ask to be forgiven
