A blood spattered child
Lies alone
Trapped in the leather dreams
He wonders where the virgin has gone
The memory cannot be changed
The sin unforgotten
Cages of sorrow surround the silence
The nursery rhyme that was never heard
Echoes in the cradle
Come to me
Close the wounds the virgin has opened
He cries
Into the shining hall of childhood horror
A dreamlike sorrow
The cage closes in,
As a life is sucked
Into the seemingly negative
Bliss
The mother that never was
She claws at the open
Gashes
Slashes at the concealed
Heart
Scars that remind
The ageless boy
There was no mother
He fast forwards the clock
To erase the dreams
The nursery rhyme that was never heard
Echoes in the cradle
Come to me
Close the wounds the virgin has opened
He cries
Into the shining hall of childhood horror
A dreamlike sorrow
A peaceful melody is uttered
As the dreams end
In the closet with
The leather encased memories
As the virgin is destroyed
As the boy is resisted. . .

Aww, this is lovely... in a dark way. It really echoes that creepy intro to Cage. ^-^b
Good luck in my contest!
