Daughter of Destruction

The tearing down of one,
through the destruction of a daughter,
the heckling of the sun,
and the savvy way of water

If fatal blows were given such,
as your hate does turn,
or vicious dog that fight for bone,
allows hell to burn

Or call one life, my life to cease,
with tainted bitter herb,
wither my heart and dull my wit,
my razor’s edge, my words

Send me to eternity,
as though I fall to sea
I fear the sea, I dread the deep,
and the blue that envelops me
