Enduring slave of Limerance

I am ensnared in a web,
shackled to the weight of limerence.
I rattle my chains of connection,
Ironically I fear the escape.
The disappointment of freedom…
My caged paradise of fantasy and lies,
intimacy and delusion,
Romance and limerence, 
a false home…
a false hope…

Freedom is necessary to true salvation, 
but am I elected to be saved?

What is the virtue of these boundless open lands,
When there’s no-one to share these deep waters with.

The waters of love are too wild for me to tame,
no matter how much I endure,
I am going to drown in this so called freedom.
