What is Love?

Miseries

I steal what I do not want
Am addicted to what I do not like
I crave what I cannot have
I covet what I do not prize
I hoard what I do not need
I fear what I do not know
I say what I do not mean
I mean what I cannot say
I obey what I do not think
I deny what I know is good
I love what I do not do
I do what I do not love
Thus my miseries unfold
Good God, redeem my soul!
