Beloved Warden
Beloved
warden.
I am
bound
by love.
And your
invisible
strings.
Beloved
warden.
I am
captivated
by duty.
And our
implied
promises.
Beloved
warden.
I am
imprisoned
by inertia.
And my
fickle
heart.
Beloved
warden.
I am
bound
by love.
And your
invisible
strings.
Beloved
warden.
I am
captivated
by duty.
And our
implied
promises.
Beloved
warden.
I am
imprisoned
by inertia.
And my
fickle
heart.
Forsake
duty that
is not loved.
It is not
your burden
to bear.
Your
duty is
love.
Your
burden
joy.
Change
is nature’s
law.
Permanence
mankind’s
nightmare.
Forsake
that which
is not yours.
Duty is heavy
when the heart
is not light.
Obligations
undertaken
but not forsaken.
Imprison
us to the
past.
Binding
us to
lives.
Chosen
by former
selves.
Long after
joy and desire
have fled.
