She became mute
questioning love’s cruelty
who tied her in chains
as a prisoner of love
love caused the love
love caused the pain
love selfishly relished
to watch her heart bleed
desiring her to herself
the prisoner pleaded
saying all is but you
in all I saw you
so why this jealousy
love mocked her
saying I want you
all to myself
it gives me pleasure
to watch your heart tend
to victims I send
causing two hearts
to separate and break
as I partake
for Laila’s sake
how cruel she replied
but why oh why
love replied
your heart is my prey
I am the predator
why would I share a pure
heart so sweet
with anyone else but myself
