Looking back to long ago when they used to throw us in the water
We all know that it was another woman that held us under
It was her voice that first shouted witch in the churchyard
It was she that revealed our sins to free herself of her own
We played together in closets with our poppets and thread
Sewn our red strings through each other's hearts, fingers embracing promises from which you fled
Sister to Sister
Look in the mirror
Why do you forsake me so
We were both bathed in these rivers but you've sent me down into the undertow
Sister you were once as wild as me, the same magic singing in both our veins
The same longing to be free
But Sister one day you used my back as a bridge to secure your future
I see your life turned out well
Hiding behind your pickett fence
While you've condemned me to hell

The game you think glamorous and wonderful
It is not really, it is dangerous.
Watch these poppets bit carefully
Their dance is quite similar.
Note their reins.
Do you want to know? Why?
Who is behind the scene?
I am afraid,
What will happen to you if you don’t like to be a poppet?
He is clever and you are a consumer for him
And he knows only how to make profit.

P act with wild love, suchlike riot act of flames on sun.
A ttract and magnify love, subtract pain.
C ontroling motions of sexual act, as I pact you overreact.
T iny sweet taste of vanilla extract, silencing your sensual
speech act,enabling the act of you being pact.
W et whispers.
I Intensified.
T angled poppets controlled by lust and love.
H ermetically sealed and pact, within you,forever loved.
B reath taking, leaving behind love in respiratory tract.
E mbrace, loving impact, created by physical act.
A lways rolling over,in my arms,after accomplished act.
U nder roof, breathing hot air pact with ecstasy.
T ingling after effects,pact with bliss of a kiss.
Y awning,we fall to sleep on clouds pact with contentment and
dreams pact with beauty.
