Scared

It’s amazing how scared a grown woman can be
To feel the tethers loosen as if I might be thrown into orbit Spinning alone and cold.
I want to love and be loved, is that too much to ask of me? Release, unfold, untie, unhinge.
Give in, give up, give out. Give it over.
Yes, way too much.
God, you do it.
Way too much.
