jagged chain with spikes of steel
let it wrap around this heart
and squeeze until it has its fill
punishment in every clench and pull
until breath seems like a memory
and joy seems like a song
distant and lilting
even as the chain hangs
fierce and heavy
weighing down the body
goring the soul
and tightening evermore, even still

I want to erase the tears of all those who trusted in hope; I want them to be left with a smile on their faces.

I’m Angela! I enjoy writing fiction, poetry, reviews, dumb self-indulgent stuff, and much more. Come check me out! :p
