In the name of love

In the garb of attachment

Imposing my whims and fancies

Influencing actions

Demanding payments

Extracting moments

Torturing out compliance

Why?

Free will

Living in every moment in the present

Is terrifying

It’s rather easy to ride on emotions from the past

Dulling intelligence to be sensitive

To keep playing instances of dead and stale situations

Treading the path that theheart demanded from yesterday

Seeking payment of commitment today

Dominance

Ignoring the unspoken plea for space

Forcing your will on actions
