Caged
A friendship I’ve had for many years
Older than all of my adult teeth
With a girl I once knew who was prone to tears
Curly red locks and secretive ears
A trustworthy soul who was one of a kind
A crazy sense of humour, but full of things benine
Mild anxiety and easily swayed
The nicest girl I’ve known and It’s really a shame
She cared for her friends for as long as I knew
She put others first and I don’t have a clue
Why she had to die, It makes my heart cry
Hearing all these lies. It wrings my soul dry.
In her place is someone I do not know
Everything older, modified and so…
Pretend. Her teeth completely perfected
Her culy locks cut and straightened
Full of anxiety and loneliness and pills
And I feel for her deeply, I care for her still
But she does not know
She no longer cares for me
I do not know her
Or her anxiety
My heart has been broken
But still I cling on
Obssess with the past
When we were very young
I can’t stop looking
At all of the photos
Choir songs and schoolbooks
And comics that we once wrote
I know that you remember
Maybe that is why I cling
Because I know that somewhere
The true you lies within
Why can’t you see
There’s more to life
Than being part of a crowd
And popularity
Is that all you care for?
Do I embarass you?
I would do anything to know
What you truly though about me
The 5. .8….12…14 year old girl that I once knew
My best friend, she lies within you
You think I have changed
But you cannot see
You’d see I’m the same
If you looked within me
But you’re blinded by the new
And you’ve forgotten the old
Whilst I’m stuck in the past
And I’m lacking in soul
This anxious, edited refined girl
Has you locked in a cage for many years
I’ve only just realised and I feel so so sad
I want to free you cause it has me in tears
Let me inside like you used to do
I want to show you the past and tap the girl within you
I want to free you from this regrettable cage
I want to free your heart from this rage
My heart is broken
I’m in much pain
I feel so frozen
My soul’s enraged
I can’t eat or sleep
Or listen to songs
All I can do
Is try to right these wrongs
I’m stuck in the past
And I cannot escape
I look at the memories
All day every day
I know you’ve moved on
But please know I’m the same
I may seem unhappy
I may seem insane
Please do not judge me
Please find your way
I care for you so much
And I know you’ve been caged
