Ring or Chain

I shiver in fear as I give my heart

Is this love or a hallucination?

Is this my life bound in prison

Or happiness bound to another?

Is this a mistake ready to happen

Or a chance never to miss?

A wish to be fulfilled

Or a curse ready to be cast?

I shiver in fear as I give my heart

A heart beat falling in a dungeon of doubts

Crawling among the grass to escape the fear

Giving away the wilderness to settle into a burrow

I shiver in fear as I give my heart

Away to one who has yet to submit 

Down the aisle of eternity or infamy

Into a pit of ugliness or a garden of peace

Is it a ring or more than one?

Is it gold sealed in deception

Or a mine full of gold?

Or are all this worthless for a heart beat?

I shiver in fear as I give my heart

Confused in my shell waiting for it to return

Fearing that the wolves might crack it

And feast on my doubts into anxiety

Is this water or fire?

Drowning or burning?

I shiver in fear, waiting for a bride

Through the ages to walk to the alter

Picking a rose in hopes it was thornless

So I may carry not debts into tomorrow

I shiver in fear as I give my heart

Waiting for a voice to give me am answer.
