Cocoon

Wrap up her limbs so she can lie
Spinning silk around her
Watch her inhaling fireflies
Illuminate her from inside

Got to
Cocoon her
Construct
A new womb for her
But will I
Teach her my fears
If I try
To protect her

Unfurl her wings so they can dry
Open to the Sun
I cannot bear to watch her fly
Reduce my singing to a sigh

Got to
Cocoon her
Construct
A new womb for her
But will I
Teach her my fears
If I try
To protect her
