I am in love, hence free to live

Autoplay

I am in love, hence free to live
by heart, to ad lib as I caress.
A soul is light when full,
heavy when vacuous.
My soul is light. She is not afraid
to dance the agony alone,
for I was born wearing your shirt,
will come from the dead with that shirt on.

[One shouldn't look, but I do]

I am in love, hence free to live

[O the childish fear of loss]

Only she who has breast-fed
