Him Without I


How did I deserve

To be given the warmth of the sun

And it's merciless fire

All by the same person

 

Why did I ask 

For someone who can breath wind into my soul

And suck it out of my life

All in one sentence

 

Where did I accept

To be filled with the joyous peace of the green Earth

And the terror of tremors

All with one look

 

What did I do

To gain the warm foam of the sea

And the violent crashing waves

All within one touch

 

When did I know

That I can evoke that same feeling inside his soul

That I am his fire and his rain

All in one small body

 

You cannot have fire

Without rain

And you cannot have peace

Without war

You cannot have him

Without I
