You took my chains
I was clad in mail
Link by link I forged
Scar by scar
Blade and bullet
Tear and regret
Until I was untouchable
Unfeeling
Cold
You reached out in passing
Casual caress
Tore one breast free
Touched by wind
Touched by your hand
Claimed by your lips
In passing
Mail in tatters
I pursue
Hounding you
Hunting you
Not to punish
Not to claim
Predator hoping
To be prey
You reached out in passing
Casual caress
My white flank baring
To your caress
No armour barring
No will resisting
Alive and touched;
Burning
In your hands,
My mail reshaping
Cuff for wrists
All power binding
Cuffs for ankles
All flight denying
One day soon
A collar
All freedom ending
I feel my mail
Each link regrowing
I feel my skin
Again unfeeling
To my knees I fall
Before you begging
Strip from me
My burnished mail
Place on me
Your chains of binding
Your slave your dog
Your willing whore
But bind me please
Ere my mail returns
And my unfeeling
Pitiless freedom
