How do you love men and women if you want to love people one at a time
or one for a very long time. Where
Does the other love go. Where is
Loves home. Do you love
What loves you? Do you still
Love me? I love you.
You were there, I was there.
I wasn't unhappy, I wasn't scared.
I want you to know
I conducted a war for this,
a war to lose my life. I lost it,
I lost it. I reduced it to

I so wish you were here, to lay
Your ear against mine, hear
The hollow flapping in my head
It was the souls of people
I think it was the souls of people
