Blackwood

Always growing

Always within

Never knowing

Til it left my skin

Brass on my tongue

Key dripping with blood

Chilling winds

No glimpse of sun

Oohs

Traps of iron

Lush forest floor

Falling through dreams

Of a gated door

Oohs

When I woke, I saw fire

And scales at my at feet

Then I heard singing

Through the trees

Then I pushed through

The burning wood

Stinging tears

Fear of losing you
