Array ( [sid] => 72992 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => My heart Is in A Gilded Cage [time] => 2004-11-24 12:48:26 [hometext] => I freed a bird today It got trapped in one of my cages The door was open but it still was not able to get out I put my hand in and trapped it then took it out side and set it free It was a dove and it gave me an idea for a poem Well here it is [bodytext] => My heart s in a cage
Gilded but still a cage
I can not let it free
Just yet or maybe never
It is too weak and cannot fly
You flew away from me once
My heart went with you
It came back with broken wings
And it is still to fully mend
You came back to me shortly after
In the same way as my wings
I took you in under my arms
Made sure that you would receive no harm
Even though you hurt me
And I should have turned my back to you
That look in your eyes
The one made me fall for you the first time
That is the reason why I let you back in
But I can not give you my heart again
Even though you want to give me yours
I cannot make that mistake
And give you something that for granted you will take
Because of you my dear
My heart s in a cage
Gilded but still a cage
No matter how beautiful it may be
Covered with gold and silver leaves
It is still a cage that I have made for me
Keeping my heart safe from harm
But never ever being able to be set free
A cage is always a cage
No matter how well gilded it may be
It will always serve the same purpose
Keeping something that cannot be set free

This is a wonderful poem,
and as u said i can totally relate,
its not so much he misled me,
he likes me but not enough to commit to a relationship.
even though i want to.
but hey thats life at the end of the day.

take care
love
Gen xx
