Wings Chained

My wings chained,

I can only stare

at the moon.

I am locked

in my cell

of insecurity.

Trust an issue,

my heart will not

survive another tear.

I once flew

with wings of joy,

now its a memory.

I gave all of me

to only receive

a fraction of another.

My heart locked in

solitary confinement,

fear my warden.

I sit wrapped

in links of vulnerability

talking to the moon.
