Locked In This Cage

Help me Can anyone get me out of here? I'm lost inside this cage i call my soul. My mind is spinning in circles. Which way is out, where do i turn. Who do i talk to? Help me. I wander down this path alone This sorrow i carry in my chest. I wait...listen for a heartbeat and nothing. The cold air against my face. Am I all that's left? Is there nobody out there. I'm looking for the light. For a friend. I call out. But there is nobody there.... Wait! i see a figure in the distance! Who is she? What is she? She holds my darkness. Keeps it held tight. Does she know this pain as well? Hello! Can you help me? Can you see me? She is trapped in her cage as well. Makes no motion. No sound..No happiness.. Are we all alone? Can you save me? Can i save you... Can we ever escape this prison? It's dark. No light. The cold air hits my face again. I want to reach out, but she is so far. Staring into nothing....Why won't someone help me.. Help us? Please. Take her away from this place. Save her and leave me. Can anybody hear my prayer. We're trapped in this cage. Our souls are confined.. I'll stay but please....save her
