Kusari no Shōjo~Girl in Chains


Bound by my feelings, bound by his words; Bound by the scars, made from his "love". Bound by the chains made by my heart. These chains were made not by him, but by me. For love of him, I shall endure, it's not his fault anymore. … Those were my thoughts all those years, and I spent them all in tears. The scars in my heart can no longer be healed. My body no longer hurts, and my mind no longer is obscured; I have nothing left to give to him; he took it all from me when he did away with me. This is my message to those who are "loved": be careful, be smart, you shouldn't love and be afraid.
