Broke the chains that bound, it wasn’t easy
Tied up to myself and my desires
A simple twist of fate was all it took to
Quench the flames and put out burning fires
A hurricane, tornado then a blizzard
An avalanche that tumbled from nowhere
Nature took a hand, and for good measure
Threw in a meteor then solar flares
Burnt and bruised, I questioned what the game was
What I’d done to hurt or to insult
Her answer, lightning storm, inside a teacup
That purged my soul and vanquished worldly guilt
A shell of self, so battered from the pounding
Cleansed, I felt, from tiptoe to topmost
Surely, she was done when I was dusted
By a sandstorm that eroded every ghost
Chains were lying, scattered all around me
Picked the pieces up, those broken links
Smile was wry, confounded as in childhood
Didn’t know what I should do, what I should think
Gave them all away, I didn’t need them
What good were chains all broken, of no use
What good were chains at all, I started thinking
Even golden ones are no more than a noose
So, I broke the chains that bound, it wasn’t easy
Well, if I’m honest, I was really given ease
By a simple twist of fate, blown in abundance
What didn’t kill me gave me my release
Been singing most of today and this popped into my head when I got home from school. Think country for the tune and I’ll hum it from here. 🙂 Long weekend ahead so it might be that I feel free! Have a great one!
