Caged By Love
I am unstrung pearls,
rolling about in the dark
that dying ember
that once was a glowing spark
a flower petal, fallen
lying withered on the ground
the wind, now hushed
too diminished to blow around
a drop of cold wax
where once a warm candle burned
a heart, sadly imprisoned
caged by a love that was spurned
a whisper, never spoken
silenced by promises now broken
a grain of sand stuck in time
held captive inside an hourglass
a thousand tears wept
while I wait for heartache to pass
