Cage

LInda Uzoma

Love
That’s the person who trapped me in this cage
Who forced me to suffer these feelings
Who introduce the darkness in my heart
Who broke down my barriers
 
But it took me a while to realize
That the cage I’m trapped in
Is a cage I created against love himself
 
Love is not the person who trapped me in this cage
He’s the person trying to coax me out of my cage
Love is not the person who introduce darkness into my heart
He’s the person trying to battle against it
Love is not the person who broke down my barriers
He’s the one trying to build them back up
 
The one who inflicted pain to my heart was me
The one who introduce darkness into my heart was me
The one who couldn’t keep my barriers tight was me
 
The one who couldn’t accept love into the cage I built for myself was me
And I don’t think I can change that
