Dichotomy

by

Keep each other captive
Set each other free
Give all there is to offer
Take all there is to see
Make each other happy
Bring each other pain
Give all that is crazy
Take all that is sane

 

Torture, tease
Starve, nourish
Resist, desire
Hurt, cherish

 

No time
Forever

A prisoner in love
Does not want to be set free.

Time spent together
Will last inside their dreams forever.
