A Distance in Love

Hand in hand with you
I want to walk on the road of life,
                         but you
Want to put a ring in my nose
And drag me after you.

Drunk on love,
I want to give my whole and sole to you
                            but you
Want to play God
                            make me
                            then break me.
 
I want the sounds of love to tinkle
And dance in your heart
                            but you
Want to harp on my helplessness,
And pulling the string of my needs
Make me perform like a puppet.

Like fragrance, I want to drench your soul
But you want to keep me in your pocket,
I want to weep over these distances
But with the snapping of your fingers
You want me to laugh!
