Summary: A poetic look into Raven's burdens in the desert





	Chains

I drag my chains,  
  
A silent weight behind me.  
  
Wrapped around my wrists,  
  
Coiled around my heart.  
  
I stumble, one, twice.  
  
I fall, the cold earth rushing up to meet me.  
  
We collide in a silent dance,  
  
Older than time,  
  
I know the moves be heart.  
  
Crimson flowing freely from me,  
  
An offering to the earth.  
  
The gauntlets slide,  
  
Running over countless scars.  
  
I scream, over and over,  
  
Silence answers, pounding in my head.  
  
My head will burst with its noise.  
  
I grab at my temples,  
  
The pain answering with fiery throbbing  
  
Shrieking with it's quiet, the silence wins.  
  
I get up, walking evermore,  
  
The chains answer with a laugh,  
  
A laugh of heartless triumph.  
  
I walk towards the sun, though I can't see it.  
  
I can feel its rays on my face.  
  
I can't remember when the dawn shone,  
  
Shone past the darkness of despair.  
  
My chains slowly following,  
  
Picking up more of its own  
  
Heavier. longer but I can't.  
  
I can't break it.  
  
Such is my curse, such is my gift.  
  
The curse of life, the gift of death.
