Cruel Trick

My mother use to tell me that love sets you free. 

That love flys you high and soars you above the clouds. 

That is the cruel trick of love.

Love flys you high then snatches you from the sky. 

Love is a cage that clips your wings and swallows the key. 

It is a carefully laid trap that has the sweetest of honey as bait. 

It works so well that we fall for the same trap even though we know exactly where it leads. 

That is the cruelest trick of love.
