The Joy That Wounds

“You try to be faithful
And sometimes you're cruel.
You are mine. Then, you leave.
Without you, I can't cope.


And when you take the lead,
I become your footstep.
Your absence leaves a void.
Without you, I can't cope.


You have disturbed my sleep,
You have wrecked my image.
You have set me apart.
Without you, I can't cope.”
