CHAINS
Uncuff me, I beg of you;
Please let me hold my love.
I have been away for far too long,
Away from her breath, away from her touch.
I said nothing when you took me away,
I had no words when my circumstances tore my heart.
I seek not these material pleasures,
Uncuff me, dear sir; let me leave her with a final embrace.
Behind the cages I yearned for her,
To touch her, to kiss her, to love her again.
In these four walls I dreamed of her,
Of her face, I’d make portraits aplenty.
I don’t have much time now,
Unchain me, this one time I plead.
Forgive me for my impunity,
For love pays no heed to those that come in between.
I am beside myself. I know not any respite;
Release me from my pain, let me hold my love.
He took no heed, that unmerciful breed,
All I wanted and longed for taken from me;
Misery accompanies me to my grave.
There she remains, unbeknownst to my yearning,
My Gloria, I wish’d for you to see.
As my body swings cold, she’ll wail,
Inconsolably so till the bed of time.
I wish I could tell you my love,
Life goes on and so must you.
But as I lay dying. I was silenced much before,
For all I’d asked for was to hold my love.
