Chained (12-24-09)
The bloodstained snow consumes her
 She clutches her heart
 And reaches for his hand
 Wishing they didn't have to part
 
 He turns to the dark
 And leaves the light to die
 She closes her eyes
 And releases a heartbreaking cry
 
 She bleeds alone
 He doesn't turn back.
 He has his own life to live
 It doesn't matter that hers is black
 
 Dying seems like her only escape
 To live would be to forsake.
 Forsake the truth, the emotions
 Everything would turn back to fake
 
 But she has never known easy
 So she hold on
 Onto every small piece that was ever true
 And remembers all that is gone.
 
 Slowly she heals
 Painfully she lets go
 Until one day she can stand
 Although her head hangs low.
 
 The sun melts her icy prison
 And the only thing that remains
 Is a scar on her right cheek
 And it will forever befit her chains
