the iron was rusted and the metal warped
yet the cage remained
the key was lost and the reason forgotten
yet the pain withheld
the emotion had faded and was partly lost
but the feelings grew
the warning flared and was almost blinding
but the yearning grew
the lock was broken and weakness came in
still her fear stayed
the hope was forming and dreams took wings
still her doubts stayed
the boy was flirting and hugs were shared
as the trust was built
the two agreed things should go slow
as the friendship built
the boy was curious and asked her thoughts
for the truth remained
the two just weren't ready to get close
for the scars remained
the days went by and the tention passed
then the question came
the girl asked what he had planned
then the answer came
the future led them on two differnt roads
and the end was there
the girl knew she would miss him dearly
and the hurt was there
the plan was to avoid him from now on
so she wouldn't be scarred again
the cage was already being rebuilt
so she couldn't be scarred again
the girl is looking back on the past
now that he's gone
the boy is regretting letter her go
now that she's gone
