The Prison of Love

I open the cage… And she flew She soars up high The words I hear her say Is “I am free at last.” I never knew that my love would be a prison Till I loved her Possessed her Was obsessed with her She said she loved me But only to conform to her captures wishes She never loved me back But satisfied her desires And now… She said there was no future called “us” She just wanted to fly To be free So… I open the cage
