Prompt: "As the bird whose owner just died"

I try to reach him,
But I know it's too late,
Pretending to be trapped,
Was this the only way;

The cage is my guard,
My ribs the enemy,
My only friend in life,
Lying dead so close to me.

He fed my soul,
I held my breath,
And mercilessly,
I brought him death,

Now I must fly,
For this poems over,
I am a little bird,
And I killed my owner.

Berger say what?

What actually is wrong, when you're not on the same page with a person, but you think you are? If two people look like they like each other, enjoy doing things together and get along really well together, how big is the problem, if one of them isn't just that into the other? I was just watching the sixth season of Sex and the City and what that Berger guy did seriously bugged me. He was the one saying sorry. He was the one bringing the flowers and he was the one apologising. But eventually it turns out, he was the one that just wasn't that into Carrie. But the thing is, this doesn't only happen in TV shows. You feel like you've clicked with a person, you share the same interests and seem really compatible but it just doesn't happen. I can't help but wonder, do those people shut themselves because it actually is perfect? One way or another, Carrie-ing the situation and waiting for that Big moment is the right thing to do, because a Berger ain't gonna make you look good forever!
