I felt helpless in the moment
when I got caught, tangled
in unseen bonds. Held up
and unable to move,
I was captured and stilled.
As I watched through a window
I never planned an escape.
The shadows never ceased dancing
upon imaginary depths, it became too tempting
when the sudden wind blew
and the fire was doused.
Coldness invited me
to move my arms and turn away.
I stood still.
Time let me go
and never came back.
