– Breaking Chains –
When further words can only
split the truth of us into parts,
we must inevitably return
to the purity of emotional instinct,
that which hides so closely guarded
behind our more logical thoughts.
I hear that laughter we once shared
echoing in droves across the courtyard,
faces smiling on the corner of every street.
I wish so much to relive that feeling
for the solace which we both seek;
But every time I rise to lead us forward,
all that remains of our love
is chains upon our feet.
