Bound

When You Think You Are Someone's Creation

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 3 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is a poem inspired by an incident in my favourite book, Clive Barker’s β€œImajica”

The chorus of the PJ Harvey song is "Let It Burn", never let anyone control you, even if you think you have no choice.

Naked on the Bare Board Floor

Are You Loved or Are You Owned?

Sartori Left You Alone,

Unloved By Your Creator

πŸ”₯

You Reach Out, Hoping To Touch

But Sartori or His Twin

Both Left You Empty Within

Left, With No One, Hurt So Much

πŸ”₯

You’re The Maestros Creation

Those Were The Words That He Said

But Can You Believe In Him

Your Blood Stains The Floorboards Red

πŸ”₯

You Feel Bound to Him In Hurt

Now Smash Your Bonds, Make Him Burn
