Charles M. Moore - Chains

She took a long drive
to escape her dark life
she was chained as a woman
and chained as a wife
deep down she felt running
would free her from pain
but the chains in her heart
pulled her back home again

She wanted ambition
she wanted loves bloom
she wanted creation
to give her some room
she needed the space
to sort things in her brain
but the chains just kept pulling
her back home again.
