A Cage

A light growing dimmer and broken wings trapped inside a cage.... her wings...
The armour of her external strength slowly fading away,
as she dreaded for it all to come to an end,
or at least for something else that her heart might find no impediments.
Her spirit became lugubrious, longing to slide out of existence,
longing to slide out of her prison just right as her hopes die away,
but not before gasping for bits of air, not before succumbing into despair.
Grief crawled at her back, feeding upon her misery,
forcing her tears to be cast,
gnawing slowly but mercylessly at her heart,
leaving her simply torn apart.
This cage has bounded her to suffering,
and not even her soul can make it all come to a halt,
much less her mind would find a way to fly.
Her wings broken are and trapped in a cage that shows a scenario most grotesque,
her life imprisoned by time,
and she just wished her whole existence would come to its final twilight
