Love is a Cage

Love is a cage that makes us brave 
Pushing us to be vulnerable; 
Trying something new 
a cage that makes us enraged 
binding us so close, then pushing away 
Love is a cage that costs so many things 
time, sacrifice, and pain 
cold, lonely nights behind bars 

Love is a cage 
A never-ending nightmare 
Trapping us in ceaseless pain 
trying and trying  
never finding peace 
Love is a cage that makes you  
give up,  
give in,  
or die. 

Love is a cage 
But it feels so good 
This sweet, sweet prison
