Love Ties
Oh! I wish I had never loved.
These paltry human emotions that fetter us to this world.
I wish I had never had,
These human weaknesses, I wish I'd never had.
I could float away in oblivion,
With all my senses ruptured.
Not a breath to be heard, and not a thought to think,
That would be my Paradise, glimpsed in a wink.
I know now, how love torments you,
Not my sour memoirs, but by sweet memories.
Oblivion becomes a distant dream to you,
When you hear your beloved's pleading cries.
Being chained and fettered with soft silken ropes,
Leaves a cut deep when pulled against to be free.
They don't kill, but keep you alive,
They do everything but let you flee.
I would have gone into my Paradise,
If not for these ties of silken ropes.
They are called bravery, but it is all lies,
It is love, not bravery that holds us so.
