When the Autumn leaves turn to bronze,
Lock her in a gilded cage
Satisfy her hunger, quench her thirst.
Abuse her heart.
Roll her into a ball during the snows of Winter
And lay her down in cotton wool,
Comfortable and warm.
Suffocate her spirit.
Hide her away from the beautiful Spring blossom
Close the doors around her
Guard her from strangers.
Suppress her mind.
Embrace her, caress her,
Harness her, bruise her,
Kiss her, defend her,
Possess her, burn her,
Idolize her, worship her,
Bury her…destroy her.
