Return

You were once everything;

I breathed, lived,

died, and lied

for you.

Now, we know naught of this;

but, sometimes, when the sun sets

below the horizon,

and the moon wanes high

in the sky,

and I lay alone,

without you,

I return to this.

I return to this which we know

naught of now;

I return to this which we once had.

And I cry,

alone,

for you.
