if i could wipe away..the tears from my eyes
i can give it another try
i can work the clasp...to be free at last

not the type of clasp i am acustom to
on a fine gold chain around my wrist
but one of heavey iron
the one that has me chained to this cold cement floor

oh the blood...the swelling..where am i..?
why am i here..?
the pain in my wrist..is unbearable

how long....how long (crying)
(screaming now)..help me..somebody please...

i know this smell
i know it well
musty...damp
i must be in a basement...

i am not perfect in any way...but why..?
i have never hurt anyone..
help...me......

all i can hear is the blood...rushing
my ears throbbing
i can not free my self...

why is this happening to me
what morbid ******* could he be

i can't remember anything...i don't know my name
please..........(crying)
it's so dark...a sliver of light
seems like night
possibly coming from what was once a window
blackened long ago

the harder i try to free myself
the worse the pain is...

(scream)......what..?
why am i shaking so bad....what
oh my god i can see
mom...
what happen..?
i think you were having a dream....
your bracelet is caught on the nightstand..drawer handle
are you ok honey.....

no i'm not...i was somewhere i have never been
and will never....ever wear jewlery to bed..
again.......

Concealed in the pearl of your routine
Like a carnation of melody -
The honey hive
& the threat of the sting
This wild rose
North star lover
Bonfire of destiny
and the summit of all things joyous

The loneliness from which we are abscent
Smoldering like the  
Shadow of a lone sparrow

Growing acustom to your climate
And the scent that ignites
My restless heart

The rain undresses me
& when you close your eyes
I fall asleep
