Her wings spread and she soars
And so you shoot her down
She dances with joy
So you pin her to the ground
She opens her arms to love
You tie them behind her back
She tells you that she loves you
You say there's so much she lacks
Her feet race to paradise
You chain her to the floor
Her voice still carries zeal
You gag her so she speaks no more
She looks to the sky
You blindfold her so she can't see
Her ears listen for hope
You cover them repeatedly
Hope drains from her eyes
And so, at last, you smile
Her head hangs defeated
You think it took awhile
Her saddened heart then bleeds
So you dig a little deeper
She finds she can no longer fight
You knew that you could keep her
