• Duty Unbound

Sadly we can never claim back the lost time,
When I was true neither to myself nor you,
And the older I get the greater seems the crime
Of not leaving but instead just seeing it through,
Of feeling a duty where there really was none,
Of not living my life as I should have done,
And I owed more than this to both of us-
Had I in my feelings only set more trust.

In my wish not to harm you, all my hope died,
To save you from hurt, so much pain I’ve caused,
Suffering for my ideals meant I never paused
To think what joy there’d be if I didn’t lie.

The strength I have now I didn’t have then,
Undermined by words I didn’t see as lies,
Condemned by the base views of lesser men,
Chains I’d see broken used to keep me tied
To a life I didn’t want, nor ever will,
In binding me to you all my youth was killed,
The time I gave to you I would dearly have back
Unspoiled, with self-worth and pride still intact.

Where love should have been there was just honour,
If only to my ears my hands I’d cupped
To hear the sound of my heart’s pained clamour,
Bound hard to a duty that I could give up,
We wouldn’t have stayed faithful to a lie,
And sooner other ways we could have tried,
Yet my vanity led me to deny
That on my strength you had never relied.

In my wish not to harm you, all my hope died,
To save you from hurt, so much pain I’ve caused,
Suffering for my ideals meant I never paused
To think what joy there’d be if I didn’t lie.

The strength I have now I didn’t have then,
Undermined by words I didn’t see as lies,
Condemned by the base views of lesser men,
Chains I’d see broken used to keep me tied
To a life I didn’t want, nor ever will,
In binding me to you all my youth was killed,
The time I gave to you I would dearly have back
Unspoiled, with self-worth and pride still intact.
