The ties that bind

In kind and

Kindness relinquishes

My mind wants to own you

Devour you even

Destroy you

Bring you to emptiness

With me

But to make you whole

And me too

What could I do

Or not do

What potion to take

Or not take

What spell to cast

Or not cast

What prayer to say

At long last

I do not want to destroy you

But I cannot release you

Are we caught in Purgatory

To work out our sins together

You are better kinder

Than me

Can’t you see
