Dear slave to love,
All the sleepless nights you've spent,
Thinking of the one you in your heart.

To what extent should you be enslaved,
Can you still let go if they don't feel the same?
Do you realize that the one you love loves another?

Or is it that you are selfish,
You are thirsting for another's time and emotions,
Holding them back from progress.

You are also selfless,
Ready to do anything to please your beloved,
The smile on their face is the same one on yours,
Even when you've clearly made the sacrifice.

Dear slave to love,
Don't scare us all into not loving because you have done alot,
Save a bit of your heart for yourself,
Look around too,
Far enough from your beloved who doesn't love you.
