Frozen

wrapped in your arms, warm and safe
heat keeping me close to your body
each moment, floating away into dreamland

days turn years and I still lay pressed to you

no longer a girl needing safety from terrors
now, a woman with ideas and her own strength
time has kept me frozen, mind and spirit, at 22

wings I need to soar never able to spread

loving wraps are soon constricting grasps
can't move or tear myself from your arms
scared that life will always be this moment

I can't break free
I am withering
I need to fly
