Partly inspired by the song Kjærleik by Gåte


Freedom

He turns his eyes to me and begs me to enslave him
to worship him
love no other
as though love was something exclusive

But I am no god
and love is not a cage


I will not be a servant
to a man that cannot be a god

I will not be shaped
by parents that cannot shape themselves

I will not be defined
by friends that wield words only to deceive


But to love with all my heart
the gleaming eyes
the sweet hearts
the singing minds
among us

that I will
