I will live my life alone
for I have no matching soul
it is enough for me to be whole
on my own

I have no other half
no guiding lovers hand
the only thing that lies amiss
remains my dreary soul

I belong to no one
never will I be called yours
I am mine in all entirety
in this incomplete completeness

So alone I live
So alone I may die
for a dismal truth
remains truth none the less
