Choke

I saw you kiss her

Air vanished, pain in my throat

I saw your old smile

 

Pain brought me pleasure

Your smile was my sole wish

Your love was never mine

 

Your laugh grips my heart

Your words opened my blind eyes

Your pain was my gift

 

Now I soar with birds

I dream in starscapes and gods

No chain will bind my soul

 

I am Rose, will Rise

I am Goddess, love sublime

Sun and Moon will shine

 

I can pull tides to

I can burn flesh or caress

I can push to stars

 

No more scars I see

I am diamond, earthly core

I rose, beauty soars

 

No thorns can harm me

No vines can choke or tie me

No noose on my neck

 

Love was my prison

Unconditional in love

The bars turn garden
