Forgotten child

My heart beats against the cage that is my soul, but I've trapped it there to stay.
It swells and cries like some lonely, forgotten child that only wants to play.
I let myself be free and I fucked it up so that I can see no way out of regret.
Bitter and defeated my emotions twist and turn, but I won't give up just yet.
"Love is real" you say, and you mean it, you belive it like some poet on a quest.
You stole my love and now I give myself to everyone I meet to try and put my heart to rest.
I love you all in some way or not, but you're far better off without me.
Some people's souls weren't meant to be held here on earth... I guess we'll wait and see.
