A chain wraps itself around my heart

Cold iron laces through and over flame

Trying to suffocate emotion in its embrace

Failing, failing, causing nothing but pain

The shackles crush my mind, my soul

I cannot think, I cannot breathe

Don’t want to feel, don’t want to exist

Damn this weakness I have conceived!

These droplets: water imbued with fire

Humiliation, rage, happiness, and sadness

Desperately I try to escape this emotion

But I cannot flee, this is pure madness!

I can’t bear this agony another day

That drowning sensation in pure isolation

Emotions flood, but the feelings burn

Leaving nothing but void, total desolation

And in the very end, what is left?

A soul, bound and broken upon the floor

Suffering a fate worse than even death

What once was, will be nevermore.
