Surely my life was run on batteries
before you
without a natural source of energy and light
I have kept the sound of you calling my name
If you love - let her go
to those places within herself
where she can never take you and where
you must never ask to go
no one smiled at me today - they must know she is gone
I did not unite with her
so that she must divide herself
even after I have loved and been loved by others
I can still hear the sound of her not being here
how empty of me
to be so full of you
