What of those who place themselves in others? Why, death. The fool who trusts a stranger Who can not see the buds Of a flowering enemy Revealed to be mine own self Death awaits. They've stolen, taken myself By force, by sweet poison words ****** my life's marrow Death comes to me A friend, That mortal sheet to lift And I will emerge Anew.

For Clara
What of those who place themselves in others? Why, death. The fool who trusts a stranger Who can not see the buds Of a flowering enemy Revealed to be mine own self Death awaits. They've stolen, taken myself By force, by sweet poison words ****** my life's marrow Death comes to me A friend, That mortal sheet to lift And I will emerge Anew.
