Mar 2017
Exhilaration floods through me as I emerge from my cocoon
Spreading my wings
Extending my new body features
Taking flight for the very first time

Through the winds I fly
Into the clouds I soar
From the rain I hide
The flower bed is my dance floor

I twirl, I flutter above the crocuses
The blue and violet outstanding in the green field
But it’s not them that caught my attention
You caught my eye

I twirl,
I flutter,
I swirl, I flutter—
I’m trapped in white

Into the winds I cry
From clouds I fall
In the rain I lie
I don’t visit the flower bed
Anymore

You stole my heart
You control my heart
Your smiles, your tears, hold my limbs against the white sticky strands
I can’t move, I can’t escape
My heart beats for you
My heart is only for you

My smiles, my tears, for myself to see
My life is in your hands
My freedom is in your hands

The blistering heat is you
The chilly wind is you
You are the angel’s temptation
I am the one with wings chained

The fire is you
The storm is you
You are the devil who spins the web
I am the one awaiting death

Into the wind I cry, I cry for the last bit of hope I’m holding on to
In the rain I lie, I embrace the beautiful dream we had
You are the one who spins the web, cunning and charismatic
I am the one trapped in the web, destroyed yet
Drunk in love
