* Love is a Leash ¸.*´`'*:-.,_,.-:*

Love is a leash.
Sometimes it is as soft and beautiful
As an expensive silk ribbon.
Sometimes as hard and heavy
As a rusty iron chain.

Sometimes we wear it
With prideful joy
Like a leash of
Sparkling diamonds.

Sometimes we wear it
With shameful pain
Trying to hide it
From all eyes.

Love is a leash
That should be taken with
Trembling wonder
Chosen by our hearts

Because when we take it
We give control to another.
Best hope that
Our hearts choose wisely.

Love is a Leash ¸.*´`'*:-.,_,.-:*

Yes, you have foound the truth of relationships. In each relationship, each person imposes obligations on the other. As you point out, some of these obligations are pleasant and some onerous.

The picture illustrates your point dramatically. :-)
