Return to the Glass Cage

Melissa Lawson
I controlled my emotions
and guarded my heart.
I let no one in --
kept myself in the dark.
Love is too painful
and emotion to feel.
And a broken heart
is the worst thing to heal.

No one could touch me;
no one scaled my wall.
But you found a way in
and I managed to fall.
Now you are my weakness,
and you've filled me with fear.
You've threatened everything
that I hold dear.

You've confounded my mind,
you've confused my heart.
You've tormented my body,
you've torn me apart.
You've teased me and tortured me,
without even a touch.
Your eyes and your voice
haunt me too much.

You've twisted my heart,
and ripped it asunder.
You've clouded my mind and,
at times, made me wonder.
You sometimes made me happy
and filled me with glee.
At other times, you made me
just want to flee.

I don't know what to do;
I don't know what to say.
Sometimes all I want
is to just run away.
Sometimes all I want
is you close to me.
I wish I could open
your eyes to see.

The Lone Wolf backs away
from the one it wants most.
It turns and it runs,
like it's just seen a ghost.
Love equals heartache,
it's learned from its past.
So the Lone Wolf limps away,
to it Cage made of Glass.
