When I'm in love <br />I feel locked in a cage <br />I place you above <br />everything and I feel rage. <br /> <br />Rage that you don't reciprocate <br />And you know how to aggravate <br />Rage that you don't write <br />Rage that you keep me up at night <br />Rage that I need you tonight <br />And you don't plan to invite <br />You don't try to be polite. <br /> <br />You want to show me the light, <br />but you know I'm filled with fright <br />You say my future is bright, <br />but I don't see it in delight <br />You say you love me, but not quite, <br />You know how a fire to ignite <br />You surely know how to excite <br />I wish you would a poem for me recite <br />but somehow I don't think you might. <br />Hey, no worries, I'll be all right. <br /> <br />Now that I think I know you better <br />I understand you're noone to fetter <br />I know all you expect from me is to write <br />I accept it and I think I'll be all right. <br /> <br />I don't need to show you love <br />I don't need to tell you how I care <br />You know my heart is like a dove, <br />pure and vulnerable and really rare <br />And to get hurt wouldn't be fair. <br />So, with you, no more despair! <br />As long as you and I are aware <br />We can be good friends, I swear, <br />But, don't you tease me, don't you dare <br />With I LOVE YOU's; it's unfair, <br />Let's stay friends, let's keep it there, <br />We've got so much indeed to share, <br />We can have a friendship that is rare. <br /> <br />Hope that's what you want from me. <br />If yes, I'll feel a delightful flare. <br />And that's really all I had to declare <br />You've got it all written up, right there.<br /><br />CeCe Lamberts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/love-is-a-cage/
