Caged
I am drained from holding on to a love
That is slipping through my fingers
I try to tighten my grip
But that seems to just lessen my hold
I can’t hold it
I can’t hold you
I can’t make you happy enough
Satisfied enough
If I could make you touch the sky?
Would it make you love me?
The way you should
Cherish me
The way you said you would
You tell me not to ever leave you
But you have already left me
To face the world
The pain
The rejection
Alone
Why did you find me?
Only to hurt me
Why did you pursue me?
Get me to care
Just to show me how much you don’t
I guess you just enjoyed the chase
Forgetting the times I told you
About my past hurt
The times you told me about yours
When we use to talk for hours
And still have so much left to say
Foolishly I believed you were different
When the only difference was your name
You can’t even see how much of me I give you
How much of me is dying from being with you
Nor do you appreciate
The fact I always put you first
Even though you always keep me last
But that’s okay
I no longer want you to care
Let the chips fall where they may
