Keep Me Caged
They told me but I wouldn't listen,
I could've sworn to the heavens that i was never tripping,
i am not one to kiss and tell but from this kiss I can tell,
your embrace still feels warm,
even as I struggle your love still remains strong,
as firm as you hold my hand,
I feel through the bruises your affection,
when you are around everything in me falls,
my heartbeat, my blood pressure, my pulse,
I couldn't see it before but this is love.
Am I in pain?,
am I delusional?,
am I pathetic to fall?,
am I crazy?,
yes, yes, yes, yes,
but isn't that love?,
if i told you now you wouldn't believe me,
so I would keep my affections to myself,
hoping one day you would feel it yourself,
and love me again my beautiful Bluebeard.
You looked quite handsome today,
can you give me a kiss?,
could you wrap you hands around me as I sleep?,
do we get to be a family?,
do we have kids?,
please come stay in my cage with me,
when can we go on a proper date?,
what should we name our kids?,
New York or Atlanta?,
these are questions I can't ask because I fear you might misunderstand me.
You haven't called me beautiful in a while,
sometimes I stretch my hands out of my cage so you can hold it,
is there someone else?,
why can't you see my greenlight?,
you loved my blue eyes,
you have no idea how much you make me smile,
lately I haven't seen much of you,
am I a burden that takes your time?,
tell me the truth, you promised no lies,
am I the beast to your beauty, or are you mine?.
Tell me you love me,
tell me you care,
I miss the way you touched me and played with my hair,
from the day that I met you,
I had been best friends,
from the day that you brought me here,
I admit I was scared,
but love is war and what is war without fear,
still I die i hope you realise that you are right,
I love you and I always will.
