Caged Lion

Lying about a lion Crying inside my heart, dying No longer fighting Don't bother trying Don't bother reviving No longer wanting To be without you There was a time when it ran brave There was a time that you had it in a craze This lion was untamed but you You made it a willing slave Made it behave in a way That made me think I was saved Passionate days came rolling in In waves And waves And waves Every encounter was a strobe-light rave Your love was like a labyrinth maze It was all so confusing It was all so new to me Loving you so openly Intimate and totally I was finally saved Open and free to roam and misbehave To act and roar brave My animal strength making you feel safe But those are long ago memories Remnants of many a yesterday I talk of this moment Where I'm stuck in a cage of today Lying about a lion Crying inside my heart, dying No longer fighting Don't bother trying Don't bother reviving No longer wanting To be without you
