Unchained

Fearful of everything long ago I was strangled by the bonds that held me You were but a shadow unformed Come to untangle me from the long twisting ropes. Terrified of life yet unlived Knowing not what trials lay ahead And then you were there, my savior from within Holding out your hands, with so much there to give Am I to hope to dream of the unspoken promise Or am I delusory to the extreme Help me free from my bondage Make me come undone, unchain me with a kiss.
