Analysis of Bound By An Angel...



She blew me a kiss
and I was thrown to the wall.
She summoned chains
blurred by speed
dancing about my naked body.
She sat on the edge of the bed
and dropped her smile.
The chains found anchors
stone and bone.
I was locked tight to the granite
gagging on blood and iron.
