"Caged Bird"

I sang for my freedom
A plaything weeping in sorrows
Drowning in my tears for ransom
Sadness dissipates after countless days
Days of being taunted with open windows
Inside my diminutive cage
Azure feathers harden
Scalding crimson
You milked my crystal tears
All I have are pools of Crimson
When I see you I am
Cold Trembling
Hot Livid
Smiling
When I think of you it is
Death
Hate Anger
Spite Malice
I've suffered by your hands
Without a touch
Locked in my gilded cage
Close my eyes and see you
Crushed flowers, Broken stems
Each time you mock me
Tantalize my hopes for flight
I am Crestfallen
I am Loathing
And the image grows stronger
Crushed Flowers, Broken Stems
And the world turns scarlet
You never touch me and yet
You smother me
Laughing at my helplessness
Helpless.
When I see you, you are
Crushed
When I feel you, you are
Broken.
Cardinal wings take to air
And I am free.
