Pain ever so deep and wonderful, so constant and fertile,
Longing for you to long for me for all the wrong reasons,
Thankful to feel, grateful to seal my fate with your future
To nurture this bondage of soul to soul to fill in the hole
Left from cosmic decimation of long ago indiscrimination
Of one man and his demand to be you so untrue to himself,
And have we not paid the price ever since in hard penance,
So I treasure this pain, no bane of longing to belong to you,
Only beside you, inside you, to forever abide with you . . .
Never to be you, but only true to my Self within you
