Trapped

Trapped in this life

Like a fly in a Web

Though not trussed up tight

In silken thread

Held by invisible chains

Of inertia and caring

Longing for a tangible love

Rather than this shell, they are wearing

She knows there is affection

But dreams of so much more

She reads of soul mates

She wants that encore

She searches her memory

Was love ever as bright

As those flashes, she dreams of at night

She’s stuck in dependency

Trapped in this life

Mesmerised by lights

Wanting so much more

Unsure how to unwrap paradise

Trapped in this life

Wishing,  wanting, wondering, wife.
