Ah, love!

Ah love!
Why must you hurt me so?
Why must one starve,
As the other is overfed?
Why must one lip bleed as I kiss you,
While the other paints thy lips red?
Why does my heart tear to rags,
For my mind to be sown?
Like the moon and the sun,
Your darkness,
My dawn.
Why do my legs have to bleed chasing thee,
Just for my arms to know the paradise of your body.
Ah love!
Why must you hurt me so?
