Rise, brother... Rise, if you would, for that is our curse.


Hearing such venom from your soft lips

It was as if I had witnessed magic

The woman I knew turned into a snake

Your smooth skin turned into scales in a second

And your perfect rows of teeth turned to fangs


As if you knew my heart was on a bough,

You plucked it off and discarded it as if it were rotten

Constantly I reached out an olive branch,

You used it to fuel your fire

The heat of your fury burned me


I could feel your poison flow through my body,

Shadowing my love for you everlong 

Like vines bounding me to you 

Forevermore
