Cage

~ W. Donovan ~ 8 Comments

She’s in a cage
in a safe place
away from the world
away from fear
away from everybody.
She’s in a cage
where she can live
the way she wants
Where she can live 
away from mistakes.
She lives in a cage
which is a trap
of being lonely
of staying neutral
of feeling safe.
She’s trapped in a cage
How can she go forward
when she cannot breathe
How can she fly when
she cannot spread the wings
Why should she sing
when nobody listens?
In the cage.

Sad love

~ W. Donovan ~ 11 Comments

She loved him, with all her heart.
Was silent, didn’t want him to know.
She loved him with all her heart
and she suffered every time
when she talked to him and she couldn’t
tell him what she felt.
She was coming home, always sad
and she cried every night
because she knew she must be silent.

Sad love
when he doesn’t know
Sad love
when the heart is crying
Sad love
when only her loves.

She loved him, quietly.
Not saying anything to anyone.
She loved him deeper every day
and she knew if she didn’t end this
her heart will break because she couldn’t
tell him about her feelings.
She packed her bags and left
to never return to the place,
where she loved with sad love.

Seeking

~ W. Donovan ~ 4 Comments

You wanted to be with me
just to make sure you deserved somebody.
You wanted to be with me
to fight this constant depression
to feel accepted
because you didn’t want to be alone.
I didn’t want such love,
which you were seeking in me.
I don’t want that happiness,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this support,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this joy,
which you’re seeking in me.
I don’t want this meaning of life,
which you’re seeking in me.
You need to find yourself first.
