Eros In Chains (A tortured prisoner to his love)

I dare not say I love you,
for they hurt me when I do.
They tear the wings from Angel love,
so it no longer soars above.
They torture me till I’m in tears;
I am afraid of all my fears.
Afraid that, under deep duress,
I may be made to love you less.
God help my heart, please, to survive;
keep the flame of our love alive.
