I object to being sentenced to death
My common sense is waiting for me
to break away from this prison
I know you won't release me
so- farewell












my love

guilty

guilty of what?

of self

self-denial?

guilty of the lack of love

no, Margot. you're wrong. it's a poem of unrequited love.so, guilty of deceiving herself perhaps...

I understand your intentions. Let me call my interpretetion metainterpretation. When one person can say such words like in your poem to her lover, they both are guilty of lack of love. Lyrical subject says in the end: "my love" but it has not to mean that she loves him, because she wants to leave him ...

this is misinterpretation
