The Warden

by stopdoopy

Dangerous Sticky red trickles down her stick Another beating today Oh how it's my fault To dare speak of heart felt truth Tempting you away from "justice" Just remember I may be battered and bruised behind bars But it's you who broke the law

Notes

Ever since I wrote Eurydice and had the line "gone is the warden" I knew I'd do a piece based on it, personally to me it's about a hellish woman (as always), but upon rereading I could see it being about many things. What do you see?
