PROCESSED LOVE

cerry

Sweet but rotten
Harmless at first
But deadly as time goes by.

Uru rukundo rugukubitira ingoma
Umutima ukishima
Ariko ubora buhoro buhoro
Wibuke ko urubuto ruboze,
Ruboza hose!

Nà fèn qǐchū jí jù gǎnrǎn lì de ài,
Nà kē céng chéngnuò huì chéngshú de měilì guǒshí,
Rújīn què yǐ fǔlàn biànzhì;
Ér zài zhè yīqiè yǎnbiàn zhī zhōng…
Nǐ yòu zěn néng kàn qīng tā nà yǒudú de běnzhí?

That love chained you to a fantasy
It fed you poison.
What you thought was your way out
Became the well that held your tears
Don’t let that fruit’s beauty trap you.

    Trapped and chained by one's love that poisons is an interesting view of love challenging conventions. Nicely written
