The Caged Bird

it's not fair!
i scream in rage
that i be cooped up
in this cage
not free to fly
off in the sky
and run into your arms
fall prey to all your charms
i have to be without you
why?!
i know naught
this is true
day after day i ponder
still i haven't got a clue
your life is there
and mine is here
the path that unites us
still remains unclear
each day we share
though from afar
and wish upon
the falling stars
to find a way
into each others hearts
and one day be together
and hopefully forever
both broken and beaten
and yearning for fate
hope we figure it out
before it's too late
so i know why
the caged bird sings
her heart is lost
without her lovers beat
and so she cries out
to the night
free my lover
and set him in flight.
