Oh, Beautiful One (A poem)

Oh beautiful one,
I watch you fall into the depths of hell,
Submitting to your fate without a will to fight,
You obey every word commanded of you,
Because love has grasped your heart,
Kidnapping you away from everything,
So loved by you.

Oh beautiful one.
I know you are so far away,
In a distant land, spread out by miles,
Separate from the world that would bloom
Before you on a spring day.
But if you hold your hand out and I will reach for it.
If you wander off, someone will await your return.

Your world feels torn,
But you remain whole, suppressing your spirit.
Beautiful one...could you believe how powerful you are?
But you play the submissive individual fallen from grace.
Left behind in the dust from the rest of time.
Your passion devoured by suppression and restriction.

Oh beautiful one,
You are not veiled from the light,
The world still shines for you through the restricting shadows.
If it be thy will I would unbind the shadows
And help you escape into the day.
But you are still captured by the heart.
