Bound
Like so much mended steel
I grind my teeth to the gums.
Scarred and bleeding freely,
I scavenge for another love.
Fed lies like a dog's fed meat,
I choke on cartilage.
Bound tighter than a contract,
I understated my aggression.
Rebounding from the tragic ways,
I cripple love and leave it cold.
Outcropping of hardest stone,
I erode it like an acid rain.
Permuted unto nothing new,
I crave the blood within the vein.
Forging a soul of cautious ice,
I'm melting in your summer sun.
Like so much mended steel,
I grind my teeth to the gums.
