CAGED HEART

My heart bangs on the wall
with its fist, demanding
"Let me out of this cage!
You might pretend I've forgotten
      what it feels like to kiss,
but I haven't!
And I know that you haven't either!
I know you keep complaining
      about each woman
that she's too irresponsible
or unfaithful
or not romantic enough
or not tender enough
but I am sick of your excuses,
find me a woman
with all those attributes!"
