Heloise

Speak to me as you do

Or you might do

If I know you

It is you, it is me

It is you, it is me

Wholly guilty, I am

Wholly innocent, too

Give me a word

I was not with me

Only but with you

Don't we fall together?

Don't we join together

In impermanence?

I say virtue applies not to our bodies but to our souls

(Come back, come back to me, it's okay, it's okay)

Needing your willful rhyme

A trial of the mind

A coupling, a story

And all of our curious night times

All forms of love, arrangements made

Are songs of love, are songs of praise

Wholly, it is me, it is you

Give me a word

I beg you give me a word
