I sit upon the window of my tower
A protective prison
I can find small joys, small love
My only comfort is the child I bore
Who smiles at me with such innocence
I accept this fait, this mild joy
Understanding I am alone.
Until the day our eyes meet,
My heart awakens from a deep sleep
Filled with love and joy
Filled with courage and hope
I reach out my hand,
Knowing yours is waiting to hold on
Terrified, excited, nervous and uforic
I see so many possibilities
So much wonder and new light
But the doors close
I am torn back to my reality
Closed behind doors and secrets
My heart starts to fade
Fear grips its icy hands around me
And yet....a light glistens from behind the wall
And hand reaches through the stone
Holding mine though I am still bound
It waits patiently, understanding my burden
Giving the strength I need to build
Giving me the love im afraid to feel
Helping me survive
Waiting for my moment to break free
