A Soul Beyond soul

I found myself astray without you,

You don’t seem to evolve in me,

Me, a whirling soul but confined to you.

You take for granted my unflinching love

Yet still I wander where your shadows grew

Seeking the self I lost in loving thee.

My heart keeps knocking, though the door is blue

And silence answers where your voice should be.

Perhaps I loved a dream I called your name

A fragile star that flickered in my sky

You stayed unchanged, while I became the same

A soul that learned to stay, but not to fly.

So if you leave, let not my love be blamed

Some hearts grow free only after they’re maimed.
