          'Twas a four-walled hell;
          one Mary burned existence
          when her spirit freely fell
          on devotion of Satan's;
          the window-less captive
          of the beauty she suffered,
          sealed her hope away
          locked by promises of brothers;

          knotting down her throat
          by muscled mere fingers,
          splashed her cheeks against
          clawed palming that hinders
          beauty-powered voice;
          when turned stitched all over
          by the terrors and pain
          she's escorted as lover;

          'twas a four-walled hell;
          one Mary burned existence
          where her heaven pleaded spell
          to wither her resistance;
          by this exit-less prison,
          she kissed rough engagement,
          she screamed out what poison
          that charged her enslavement;

          but the breathers outside
          have deafened their pairs;
          blurred sensing long for
          involvements won't clear;
          gone raging the flames
          still, apathy bears
          for 'twas an open-lived hell
          and I too...I lived there.
