Response to a dying lover
you dying when
i am not there
explains your life
when we are together
and how i die without you
this love would not be
if you were to live
in my absence
for you would die
in my presence
as for me my love
i have learnt in a special way
it is in dying in your absence
that your omnipresence in my life
manifests itself copiously
this i now know for true
to live life to the full
i have to empty
my heart of too much
of me and refill it
with your everlasting presence
without a blink i declare
the love(r) in me
comes full circle
when i leave
myself behind
& enter you
as nothing but a part
returning to the whole
