A Rational Cage

It emerges from nowhere.
Complacent hopes
That you might feel the way i feel.
i look,
it's tied,
my rope.

i examine the inside of my heart
and all i see are the walls,
heights comprised of rough stone,
from which you cannot but fall.
You tell me this is where you belong,
and i genuinely agree.
Ignorance paints a smile,
Elsewhere you eventually will be.

My heart thinks it knows what it feels.
But it's under the control of you.
Hope the lingering lingerie.
I don't think you could say
what i want you to.
Everything is stunning,
Everything is incredibly right.
You tell me i am yours until forever,
or at least tomorrow night.

Tonight until forever,
The finite span i can't comprehend.
Forever comes with a picnic basket
Bringing with it "the end".
