PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My words lie tethered to my tongue
the song in my heart will remain unsung,
I loved you then as I still do today,
but those thoughts of love must be all
pushed away,

In your eyes my heart has lived and will reside
though you've banished it to that cage deep inside,
You have and always will belong to someone else
in letting you go I may be able to
save myself,

My love to no other would have compared
I know this for all that we have shared,
You're imprisoned by your past promises
honor bound so we must forever remain
like this,

I understand and would expect no less of you
for we are both true in all that we do,
My trembling hand reaches out to turn the page
forever bound by my own love tethered to
this cage,...
