Thrall

Thrall The cup has arrived, take my blood. Fill it up with the good stuff. Drink the wine, while I unwind these chains. I have been trapped too long in this self-made cage. Tear at the bones with perfect teeth. Ground to a point; been grinding for weeks, To get the right blade to cut my food with. This hole I exist in just leaves me livid. I want to scream in the middle of day-dreams, But people will see me and never know, That the empire is crumbling; all around me is dust. I have given up on this castle of rust. The armour no longer protects my soul. The happiness is gone and I am feeling old And demoralized, the eternal night, Beckons me to join it, but I am made of pure light. The claws had dragged me under their spell, But now the spell is broken, so let me leave this Hell And find my own way, a better way; All else only fades away. (C)2018 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
