Uncaged

What is love?

A jewelled cage. 

A luxurious torture chamber. 

They say you enter it 

Whole

And leave with 

Half

Of yourself.

Yes, you’re still on my mind. 

But you’re the last person

I’d want to call on 

A rough day

The last person 

I’d want to 

Celebrate with 

I’m better off by myself.

Unfurling my wings

Flying to new heights

Without you weighing me down.
