Pretty Little Lace

Wrapped tight; 
the softest shackles 
Braided like arms .
weaving us together ,

How tight will you tie,
how much can I take?
Before the ribbon breaks,
pretty little lace

splitting all over the floor 
I want to be free 
you pretty little ribbon 
they can have that face

My laughter carries on the wind
I have my release 
constricting little ribbon 
 In pieces, reckless abandon
