The chains cover my hands
A sharp contrast to the paleness
The silver is rusting
And my veins are infected

The silver that's tarnished
Blackens my paleness
Leaving indication of placement
And unable to be washed away

I have enslaved myself
With these metal bands
I have lost my reason
Restrained by faith

I let the chains slip off my wrists
And fall into the clear water
That is slowly tainted by blood
But the crucifix drowns untouched [comments] => 4 [counter] => 157 [topic] => 13 [informant] => essentially9 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 7 [ratings] => 2 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Tarnished Crucifix

The chains cover my hands
A sharp contrast to the paleness
The silver is rusting
And my veins are infected

The silver that's tarnished
Blackens my paleness
Leaving indication of placement
And unable to be washed away

I have enslaved myself
With these metal bands
I have lost my reason
Restrained by faith

I let the chains slip off my wrists
And fall into the clear water
That is slowly tainted by blood
But the crucifix drowns untouched
