hey muse of mine
a solid darkened sign
knotted tightly forever
on my skin, you draw that
sin
you keep me caged
in soulful rage
oh let me free
you pack me tight
in your never ending
pocket full of night
and its dark
yet im not scared
i feel your breath
lightly singe'n my mind
unkind, not certain
you talk with verse
my life long curse
to hear that tone
upon the essence of each
clenching bone
yet.............
im not scared
entangle the time
in movement to mime
why you cant get to me
why with blind eyes you see
no freedom to be
all of me
