The Dance of the Rose


You Have Set me free
Only to bind me in chains again
No resentment flows through my veins
Only conflict.

I have to choose between you and me
It is a choice I could never make
Save in a life or death situation

I love you
I am yours forever
But I am being torn apart by your will
I can’t live two lives

I’m suffering to love you
I want you here, now
But walls of thought and ideals separate us
I don’t want to fight

Beloved what should I do
I love you
But, I also love my life
Which should I choose?

Beloved our love was doomed from the start
We should have known it from the start
Nothing perfect in this world exists
That is why we are facing this strife

We have created perfection
And fate won’t have that
I hope to persevere
Forgive me if we don’t

I love you
My Beloved.
