Chains
This girl who sits all alone, everyone knows her
But at the same time they don't, of what is, or were
The past is dead, her word, silent voicing the cure
Message within message, the answer within lines
Will you the seeker, take the time to figure out
Why she is silent, yet she still cries, what is about
The pain that swallows her, can a love amount
Can you feel the pain as words slowly inclines
An unmistakable love that pushed her in the corner
Seeing what games can push her to the border
When games are gone will he not forlorn her
Something she holds dear, but cannot touch, black tines
Seeing she can't, feeling if not, down by the chain
Chaining her down by confusion, spilling tears of pain
Thought to be an empty case as love will drain
But messing with Cupid's game even more combines
Bruises of hate seething her body appears in mind
But getting up, he never thought be would be behind
Breaking chains, getting up, she sees all and no longer blind
