A Bird In a Gilded Cage

I was condemned from the first day I saw you. Bewitched, enamored for ever by your inexplicable beauty. Little did I know where you were to lead me. I was a slave to Eros, a fickle love god aided by his snide piper Pan. You brought me to your home, a mansion built for love, and closed the door on me. Now I feel a prisoner inside a gilded cage besotted with love. I have no strength to open the door and fly to freedom. I am rich. I have no food. I'm dead for life: In the deepest part of my heavy heart I know I will find courage to open the cage but only if I can find true love.
