Sebastian Aaron Baez Poet Rhyme

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
