KEEPER OF THE GILDED CAGE





High in the towers of the lighthouse
the keeper looks over the sea.
As the motion of the search light
in the darkness of the night goes
around and around.
He watches day and night not free
to take flight.

As darkness covers me like a blanket.
I have turned my eyes from the
reality I have known.
Never to be accepted into your world
becoming a part of what I felt was
so right.

I gaze upon the expressions of life.
I fall to pieces each time I see you
again.
Because I know we can never be
again.
You are the keeper of the gilded
cage I am living in.

I see your face smiling at me, and
only then do I feel happy again.
As a tear runs down my face, I then
remembered, you held onto your
heart never letting it go.
While my heart held onto my love
for you never letting you know.

You stayed long enough to give
me hope, and make me dream
again.
Like a bird in the wind you are gone.
So young, yet so old, you captured
my heart and my soul.

But in a moment it all collapsed,
ripping apart my heart.
I could sense the restlessness in
your spirit crying out to go.
And now your gone never to return
again.

Like the watcher in the lighthouse, he
is the keeper of the boats at sea.
As for me, you are the keeper of the
gilded cage I am living in.
The keeper of my heart,
never to be free.
