Sonnet 27
Lighten my burden,release my heart,untie me
You draw pleasure in forsaking my fleshy heart
Because you know that I love only thee
And I wouldn't desire from you to part
Am I not the same person you once loved dearly
If I am,Why do you hurt me?feeding me sorrow
Or is it because am no longer wealth,I survive barely
Love me again,give me strength to face tomorrow
The society mocks us and their love stir despair
You too have joined them to despise and lament
My hope hangs on a loss rope,thy love impair
For how long will I tolerant your abuse and ill-content?
Am distort by my feeling,her treachery deforms
Am lamed with her betrayal,her love conforms.
