Cut

Only you shall set my soul so free...

The day my bonds were cut
                      A stranger to all but who you are
                        Crippled with anger
                         Tears sorely scar
                          A fragile picture
                            Fringed in misery
                                Arms tinged with hate that you will see
 But all I want to do is breathe
                       Feeling too numb to move
     Sloth no more
       I don't want to die inside
                         Yet so tired and weighed
And so you cut my bonds.
       Chasing me wildly
         My cheeks burned with shy
                                                                Yet scars only hidden to all but you
                               When you look me dead in the eye
                                 Feel alone and cold
                                   Without you by my side
                                     And it feels like I may die
      But the pills make me feel it kills anything
 All I want to do is breathe
                      Led holding me captive
         Release and fly I wish
           I don't want to die inside                    
                         Numb in my bones
Relief only found when you cut my bonds
         Never am I alone
                            A stranger to all but who you are
                               Crippled with anger
                                                                      Tears sorely scar
                                   Shallow and scattered
                                     Broken and tragic
    A story none has known but by you
 Never want to be afraid
     I don't want to die inside
                                                   Relief exists now that I am cut

Author's Note

One of those very old things you find under a wood riddled drawer after many years; a simple 'song' dredged up from the ashes. Hope you thought entertaining at the least!

Nor do any of us want to die alone I think. This is very heavy and rather dark and mischievous. Nicely done.
