I heard a whisper in my ear
As I shed my endless tears
My mercy is endless,
Though your not sinless...
Forever tied by that scarlet thread

I tried to hide, it was the shame
Is this just another game?
Thought I'd have to beg and plead
I heard you say, there's no need
I held my head, oh the dread...

You cupped my face, my tears erased
Without a trace...
No need to dread, I heard you say
This is no ordinary day
Reach for the thread
All combined, sweetly twined
Forever covered by the blood I shed
Forever tied by that scarlet thread

The scarlet thread that seemed so tight around my neck.... just itching to snap.... thank-you for sharing this!

your way with words is very telling - and so you touched me
