Obedience

At nights when the chilling air gnaws at her bare flesh,
she moans with clenched teeth and shivers, but never complains over the agony.
For love and faith entwined have empowered her soul
even when the ravens came at noon to terrorize and rip at her skin.

Nothing would slay her spirit in defiant devotion to the one who was her lover
willingly to accept his test of her obedience when tied to ruins of old church,
though her passion flames, she has only vague memories of past or how they even met.

Wrists rubbed raw from her ordeal, her heart awaits their reunion every midnight,
hunger clawing at insides, weather digging at her hope, until he comes with ecstasy meal,
being eternity for siren who spent life betraying trust, now victim of one she harmed.
