i'm dead because

"Where is this sword that hangs over me? Let it fall! Layla is the very moon in the sky of my being: since Fate has sent clouds to cover the moon, let the earth swallow me up! If my soul has fallen because of her, so be it: at least the fall was like heaven itself!"

🫩🔫🏃

guys what has happened to classical persian love? what happened to her lover going mad from being separated from her? what happened to reverence, devotion, adoration, love? why do we not see such poetic agony anymore?🥺

Extract of "LAYLA" - poem by Eric Clapton

Layla, got me on my knees. Layla
I'm begging, darling, please. Layla
Darling, won't you ease my worried mind?
...
Layla.
Make the best of the situation
Before I finally go insane.
Please don't say we'll never find a way
Tell me all my love's in vain.
Layla.
