Strategically placed is a sieve beneath my heart,
now that it's been tore apart.
I feel the essence of me slip into an abyss,
but not a soul witnesses this.

Wordlessly I fall so much harder than before,
no longer deep into her I simply hit the floor.
Outstretched are my arms but I'm the only one here,
breaking my heart but no one catches a tear.

Faith I held so high slips through each hand,
as its rock solid foundation crumbles as if it were made of sand.
So I fall to my knees rebuilding this castle,
pausing several times as I'm not sure it's worth the hassle?

But like most things it comes with time,
which I do though I committed no crime.
With my own embrace crossing my bottomless heart,
I step far away from what only promises to tear me apart.

Outside the frame I see all I need to see,
an angel in chains who dreams of flying free.
But the trust she held became what would bind her,
as the hurt she'd felt would be all that'd remind her.

Of just how dumb she'd really been,
like bigga peas she couldn't get more green.
So in this dark room that holds no sound,
I dream of becoming totally UNBOUND?!?!
