ALL MY CAGES ARE MENTAL

Head in my hands,

Weak are my words,

My world is dark

For how long, I ask?

I turn to look at him,

WHY DID YOU DO IT?

I'm I supposed to take it?

His eyes gaze at me

His lips part to speak

His hands tremble,

He quivers,

Words sprut out unclearly,

I see him sweat,

Regret washed all over,

This was my life,

My one true love, so I thought,

The one I called soulmate, partner, my love,

What love does to you,

It swallows you whole if you let it,

It drains you if you allow it,

That was my case...

I let his words consume me

His actions confuse me,

His fake love move me,

I dug my grave,

Invited my demons,

Now I am mentally caged.

I

    The line "I'm I supposed to take it". Have a second look.

    Fly free little bird. Never let another cage your wings. Easy to say, but try your best.
