ONLY.

There is only me in the world without you.
Others have come and gone in the world without you.
People have cut me up and broken the back of the world
Without you.

Tell me please, I implore you, is it easier for you,
Having found another friend, another island.
It is difficult to talk I know, harder still to swallow,
Having lost it all again for dry land.

There is only me in the world without you.
The wind in the wood is older in the world without you.
The knock on the door is the attack of the world
Without you.

Sigh for me please in the night now, for I have only the breeze
In the night, now.
Having coached apathy to victory,
It is unheard of to declare the triumph of despair;
Who needs territory for peace?

There is only me in the world without you.
No friends or family, strangers, acquaintances, men or
Women, cats or dogs in the world without you.
Nothing left to behold; not much left of the beholder
At the back of the room of the world without you.
There is only me in the world without you.
Only I will do.
