Caged

Without the Love
        Existence is a birdcage
        Desolate and cold
        Finding comfort only in itself.
Without the dove
        The cage is a mere antique
        Lonely and useless
        A burden to the space provided.
And yet, with Love
        We are only the culprits
        Thieving and murderous
        Suffocating the doves life with fear.
