Iron Maiden



Bark to blades and back again

Warm embraces made by blood

A shadow within the crevice, temporary and fleeting.

Scars are forever.

Joined at the skin, and bound to the heart

Bleeder and bleeding, seeping into soil

Ripe growth, if taken

Awakened and brought to life

Blades to bark, not back again.
