I loved her till my veins dried
I loved her till my bones ached like death
Now I see why her last love died
And me too—I'm next
And she shaped my bones
Carved them new
She set me free
She said it was true
Shackled to her beast
Her violent gatekeep
Her beast in human skin
Her feathers are the wind
Her mind is the ether
Her path is blurry
Her love is in retreat
Oh I am so free
The mind is hell
And love is the prize
If you can't see heaven
Outside—you're blind
I was so blind
I couldn't see
She shaped my bones and set me free
