You are a slave of
your emotions
your blood
knowing fully
how you are exploited
how thin are the bonds
and the love is unmatched

My heart aches
to see emotions throttled at
the altar of self interest
while you swallow your pride
and retire to your solitude
and to the world of your dreams

Many a times
I told you to
turn inwards
for when you do
how ephemeral
the world would seem
and while no pain would hurt
with freedom rest shall be dust.
