Love Caused The Pain

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 Layla’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
