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

Not this shell, they are wearing

She knows there is affection

But dreams of more

She reads of soul mates

She wants that encore

She searches her memory

Was love ever as bright

As flashes, she dreams every night

She’s stuck in dependency

Trapped in her life

Like a fly in a web

Wanting so much more

Unsure how to navigate to paradise
