Darkness enshrouds your being.
Your true colors, My eyes unseeing.
It intertwines my soul and mind
in the cracks and fissures left behind.
Herculean efforts, gods know you tried.
But, serpent's soul, you could not hide.
I allowed you freedom to slither in;
breathed you life, but breath grew thin.
I once was lost; myself, I found.
The chains you left, I've now unbound.
I bent. I bowed. I did not break.
It is not yours, my soul to take.
