Lily

It was such a long time ago
thought these bonds had broken
What is this hold you have over me?

that pain is so raw
so distant from the rest of me
Integrate! I demand of you

in two minds I tell
was it now or is it then
and soon I can't speak

no more chains or walls
i reclaim myself
yours no more

from destruction, dirt and pain
The lily grows anew
for beauty and for sunshine
