Poisonous Embrace

I found solace in your heavenly embrace, 
for you gave me love in a time of hate
But you tied me up in your poisonous lace. 

Waves of turquoise fall with unrivaled grace,
washing away the maniacal footsteps of the past. 
I found solace in your heavenly embrace. 

You tricked me with your glittering showcase, 
drawing me into your warm, motherly arms. 
But you tied me up in your poisonous lace. 

When I see you, a smile lights up my thinning face, 
and your sunshine sends clouds of my pain to drift lightly away. 
I found solace in your heavenly embrace. 

I was a runner in your deadly race. 
I gave you my sweat, my blood, my tears. 
But you tied me up in your poisonous lace. 

I wish I had seen through your poker face, 
for it was you who made my world crash and burn. 
I found solace in your heavenly embrace, 
but you tied me up in your poisonous lace.
