The Birdcage Poem by sean alexander

If you loved me, it’d be my cage.
I’d hide away from evil’s gaze.
If you love me, no bad thoughts could get in.
I could only destroy myself from within.
If you loved me, I would sing all day.
Knowing all problems have gone away.
If you loved me, there would be no need to gaze.
Outside of the window’s haze.
Or be apart of life’s rat race.
Because I would forever be in your sweet heavenly embrace.
But you don’t love me, because you said no.
So you broke my wings and let me go.
