Silver Cage
Take me from these silver bars,
scratched by the thousands of desperate hands,
the ground muddy with tears.
Ringing with sobbing cries.
caged in this tomb of unwanted ties
Encasing millions before,
never to be released
those of a slowly breaking heart.
Countless crying eyes
have peered through the space,
watching their love walk,
in the hands of another.
Please don't let these silver bars close around me.
Don't leave me in my empty prison
Take my hand before its too late!
Take me from this silver cage.
The cage of a slowly shattering heart.
