Siren Poem by Rebecca Pepper

I miss my words you see
Once I could sing and be free
Or maybe I could cry and deny
That my voice was naught but a lie
A siren call to ward away life
As deadly as fire to ice
Or my heart to my mind
You see my mind isn't kind
And you'll be broken before you can hide
My words were in tune with moon and tide
So they cut them from my lips
And with my words go my whips
So know now I'm bare and alone
A silent wanderer left to roam
A mistake they won't have time to regret
For I may be torn but I don't forget
And now I've return with tooth and claw
And I do believe an eye for an eye is law
