I look at you and you laugh.

You skip and jump in this shore
of old blood,

of crushing darkness.

And you turn, look at me,

begging me to follow.

Begging me to join your grave.

I will gladly.

I'll drown.

The darkness of my love consumes me.

And here, in death, in dying, I find you.

I find who you truly are-

my fearful symmetry

my fearless memory.

But to join you, I give to you, my life.

I give to you, this river, this boat,
these shores.

I give to you, the armour of scars you made for me.

I give to you, my all.

I give to you, my all.

I give to you,

my all.
