"Answer Me." So I Speak
Love weighs heavily A load felt most in absence Singular absence Why burden me so? You had to know of its weight That grows with distance The stream bears witness The river the accuser Tidal wave, verdict This is my answer Such a singular burden Love is my answer. You know of my pain You have expected this claim You know it rings true What would my life mean Had I never glimpsed this love? Hollow, so hollow. This doubled edged sword Sharpened each night, plunged at dawn When she is not here You wanted to know These sharp words pull no punches Still, I worship you
