Lose The Chains by �맆îñ¥

A silver snake tangled by my throat
Slips beside my skin and wrapped inside my coat
Keeps me so still at night
Makes sure I lose every fight

The clasp with its forked tongue
Pushing taunts in every side
No matter where I try to run
There’s no way that I can hide

Each link burrows into my skin
The silver hisses as I struggle
It laughs as I lie in pain
Exhausted from the strain

It keeps me but does not hurt me
Only your fists can damage me so
Can pound me till I lie
Almost dead with nowhere to go

Each purple flower you grow on me
Reminds you I feel everything
That silver is embedded in my veins
Please lose the chains

If I give a dying wish
Would you honour my last hope?
Knowing you won
That I could no longer cope

I’m dreaming of lying still
I’m staring at the sun
Lose the chains
It can never be undone

My deaths only just begun
You love to test and tease
But the chains restrain my limbs
No one knows of my disease

It’s time to let me go
It’s time to bury the remains
It’s time to make excuses
It’s time to lose the chains
