Love's Vindication

I always thought my life deprived, cloaked in tragedy
Until I found the gate unlocked, for love had set me free
But with this freedom comes remorse
For no love could stay the course

When where I thought to find depravity 
I found that humor comes to me
For unbound I have become you see
From these chains which shackled me

And when anxiety does loom
I think about my so-called tomb
And so the cries find no room
For only laughter’s sound does boom

But think you not my attention worth
For many women walk this earth
To which my love does freely flow
Seeking the one whose heart does show
