Spoiler
Blotting out any hopeful light,
Turning my world into fitful gloom,
Turning your day into darkest night.
It's not the fear,
but the knowledge.
Its not just a tear,
but bondage.
Spiraling around your legs,
Coiling over your arms,
The whisper that begs,
The murmur of coming harms.
You are trapped,
Life becoming unlaced,
Long living no longer mapped,
Distant death instantlly erased.
A tribute to the gods,
An offering for others,
Tied to planted rods,
Gagged by your brothers.
