Trapped In Childhood Poem by Eman Awad

I'd love you to tell me a story,
say good night and put me in bed to sleep.
I'd love to admit my truth in glory,
i love you deeply but that's not all in deep.
I'd love you to open your arms,
just as wide a they can go and wait me running to you.
I'd love you to tell me of stars,
and so many things that i'd really wish to go through.
I'd love you to hold me tight,
yes, i'd like you to be my father first of all.
Not just tonight, but every night,
and that's the only way to captivate my soul.
A red rose can be meaningful but a toy,
would make me safe, holding it at night and think of you.
Running towards you is what i mostly enjoy,
i may seem like a child, but who said other wise? it's true.
I'm a child before your eyes when you seem,
so big and glorious to me every day and all the times.
I'm a child when i find out that my only dream,
is to let go of all the world and be with you and it rhymes.
This poem rhymes perfectly, the dream of a caterpillar or a cacoon,
to break away through the darkness and become a butterfly.
Spread my wings and fly away towards the divine, silver moon,
towards you and fly all around you till the day i die.
Yes, i'm a child when i love you more than chocolate,
and more than any other candy, i'm so in love with you.
And i may be a child still but it's never too late,
i want you to raise me up, i want to grow old with you.
This is the real me and i'm tired of how i fail,
trying to change my self to be a grown up girl.
Or a woman, i'm just a child and i sail,
imaginary seas, till i grow, till you come to my world.
Imaginary seas called days and every day i feel like i'll drown,
but the hope of seeing you floats me out to the shore.
Maybe i grew up too much out of how often i frown,
and how often i break till i fell down to a dark core.
Dark as my mother's womل ا though i don't remember,
but let us say i remember that i was given a new birth.
Just the day you found me i'll linger,
each day of our life till i'm still, in my hearse...
Then you'd say that i grew with you so,
that i captivated you and made you so happy since we met.
How can you know of all this love and let me go?
be my family and be my love, i know that you won't regret..
