She has locked herself in a prison cell.

Swallowed the keys, hoping to forget the bittersweet memories.

Heart now darker than the burnt ashes of a cigar;

Eyes drier than the Great Basin.

Tongue sharper than the needles once pricked into her skin.

Left more broken than the shattered glass you threw because you were angry,

Angry because she finally wanted to be free.

Free from all the pain and lies.

You made her believe loving someone meant putting their happiness before her safety.

Threw away her dignity to please you sexually, to keep you happy.

You brainwashed her into believing that was love.

Love:an intense feeling of deep affection,

The only feeling she ever felt was despair.

That's not love, it's poison.

A poison in which she'd find herself taking in every day.

Love is an endless cycle of happiness, pain, and anguish,

But she'd take you back because you drove her insane.

Drove her to the point where she chose to lock herself up.

Willingly became a prisoner.

Chained up her heart,

Afraid she'd fall for you all over again.

Her cell is love proof, toxic proof.

Because of you she has erased her memories of love.

She will never love again.

CAGED, BROKEN, GONE

Heart now laced in fear

Because her heart can't take not one more tear

CAGED, BROKEN, GONE
