You are the queen of me,

But I am surely no king.

So many lacking

Bring me to my knees.

I look at you

And I guess;

The deprivation

Is true.

Taught me a lot,

Most of which I forgot.

You know I love you,

I can’t abstain.

I would fight or die for you,

That is my right.

Transcendent creature that you are,

But you are far away.

I have no complaints.

But I am chained, bound.

The sound of these shackles

Cuts my heart.
