I touch all the walls that surround me.

Trapped…

I stare at this unfamiliar home around me.

Trapped…

Can't remember how I got here;

Can't remember why I came.

Trapped, trapped…

I hear the door open, but

I feel no fear, even though I'm

Trapped.

I see him walk in, and my heart beats hard,

Trapped

In my chest.

Because I know him. He's

Trapped

In my heart.

He smiles, kisses me softly. I'm

Trapped

In his embrace.

And memories I've never known

Flood into my

Trapped

Mind.

His left hand

Traps

Mine gently, and I see

He's wearing a ring to match my own.

He tells me about his day,

The woman whose life he saved.

He's a doctor; the knowledge is

Trapped

In my mind.

How could I have forgotten

All this happiness I've never known?

I always had known this day would come.

Music bounces off the walls, sound

Trapped

In a loving home.

We follow the sound

To find a boy on the piano.

His eyes are shut; he's

Trapped

In a world of music.

He loves it like his father,

And the knowledge hits me:

This is my son, who was

Trapped

In my own womb till

I brought him into this world

Trapped
In confusion and chaos,

But also happiness and love.

I touch the wall, the piano,

My husband's hand. I'm

Trapped

In this perfect world,

And even as it fades away

To deeper sleep

I hold his hand and wish,

Oh how I wish I could stay

Trapped.
