She was 20
Going on 43
She wanted to escape
Feeling free
She gave her heart
Shut down her mind
At the risk of a love
She may never find
Her soul now trapped
Passion tamed
He offered the escape
He could not be blamed
Trap now set
No path for her feet to be met
But the fire burned
Dreams they flashed
As words & hearts
Tangled & clashed
Planning
Waiting
She'd become the student
Lesson learned
She left on a strange cold night in July
Taking with her the last match
To light her own fire
To clear the weeds
And plant the seeds
To climb the mountain that
No longer appeared to high.
