Iron ribbons entangle my limbs
Poison petals burn my skin.
Constrained in your personal hell
Of fiery red pastels.
Iron ribbons tighten around my neck
Poison petals take away my very breath.
Enjoying your fun?
But I understand your game has just begun.
Iron ribbons cripple me in every way
Poison petals of a deadly bouquet.
Take you time
You seem to think you're so sublime.
Well not any longer
You will soon realize you are not stronger.
Iron ribbons break
Poison petals disintegrate.
Take your time
Just walk away
I will heal my broken flesh of yesterday.
