I have dreaded the coming of
For so long
I wait for the sun
To remind my body

I must learn to give only part some how

Camping on the edge
Of your city I wait
Hoping someday
You might

Beyond yourself
The shadows on the ceiling

And I must learn to without you now
I must learn to give only part some how
And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how 

All of these cages
Must
And shall be set aside
They will only
Keep
Us from the knowing
Actors
And stages
Now fall before the truth
As they love
Shared
Between us
Remains
Growing

And I must learn to without you now
As I cannot learn to give only part some how
