Chained

And the rain came down
And danced in the shadow
The dark days of winter
She lit another candle

And there in the seam
Of the fabric of pain
Lie the ashes of dreams
From a life so restrained

And the emptiness swells
The deafening din
Of terrible spells
Of hate from within

For she never had time
To begin the begot
She never put rhyme
To the tears that she bought

The game was to grieve
With no reason to cry
To take joy from sadness
To make life a lie

Chained
To a life preordained
To a heart deeply stained
By a sadness ingrained

Chained
To sharp words on a wall
By some punks down the hall
So long ago faded
The words, they were traded
For a heart that remains…

Chained

And she bought a bottle
When time bid her grace
Tears stream at full throttle
Burned lines in her face

The cold of the knife
The dance of the light
The edge of her life
Sharp words that still bite

And there in the seam
On the fabric of pain
Lie the ashes of dreams
And her fate so ordained
