Locked in my cage with nothing to do,
And little hope to find in this solitude.
Hardened heart and empty eyes-
A castle of dreams built on lies.
A desperate call for something more-
A shattered soul trapped behind this door.
Wanting to know you, wanting you to see
The ability to love you that's inside of me.
Scared to show you, afraid for you to know-
Frightened of pain and the reaction you'll show.
Yearning, needing something to hold
Besides memories of others and loves of old.
Cursed with a pain that will not leave-
Surviving with a heart that will not believe.
Needing more than to be your friend-
Living a wish that will never end.

- Lindsey Brooks
