Motionlessly lying there
Unable to breathe,
Unable to speak.
In fear of change.
I take one step forward,
And then leap back cautiously.
Too afraid of what's to come.
I may be unable to live alone
Once before I could never be part of a pair,
Now stuck in this couplehood life.
Trying to tear apart the walls
Yet trapping myself under the immense fog.
There are no guarantees,
And all I can see are my years passing by.
Those happy days I once embraced with such exhileration,
Have now faded
The way the spark between us disappeared.
Out of the blue the mist blinded my judgement.
And there you were
The only one willing to guide me through, with all my stubborness.
While unwilling to move,
You coerced me to budge.
I gave in, let you have me
Breaking every rule I had set for love and its woes.
Swept off my trembling feet.
You were there to support me
Enabling me to feel once more
Brilliant colors bursting through the lifeless figure.
I can walk now,
Alone,
I can be me
The me I never knew before.
At least I hope.....
