Feel free to love for none but pain and woe,
If loving me has brought you only this,
For all I lack has found itself made whole,
Though all I am brings never happiness.
Feel free to scorn or shy away your eye,
If seeing darkened memories conflate
To cast stark shame like clouds across the sky;
Let old love's pity be as new love's hate.
Feel free to have or have no say on me,
To come and go as rain may pour or cease;
My love, my tears, are yours to use forever;
My only thought is thought for yours, to please.
And as the regent to the thrall may use:
Feel free to reign in any way you choose.
