I

she is no one
she is someone

all of she is one

one of she is
everyone

II

I try to understand her
through her words

I try to understand
through her words

she is not just her to me
she is me to me

something about me to me

I try to understand me
through her words

III

she speaks but
she does not speak to me

she speaks into a circle
where everything

eventually comes
back to her

IV

she has a mind that
overworks

she has a heart that
overfeels

she has a soul
that overdies

she has nine lives
that never change

V

I want to be a word
something that can be defined

something that has a meaning
