PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Cage of scars

Imprison a broken heart

A key once given freely

Now rusted with broken teeth

Even with a bond that has seen many a year

A love not completely lost

Still hoping to be recovered

A flame that barely hangs on

Praying for the wick to be relit

Side by side

Yet further apart

Once was can be again

Or let go, and

Let be

Do you crave what was, or

Fear what change will bring

Familiar pain can be easier

The sting of loneliness brings false sincerity
