Flesh of my chest – chosen – cleaved
In an eye I was seen – desired – deserted
Dreams fractured – kaleidoscopic – confusion
Reigns, god saves – salves – rubbed into backs
Alone in other hands – handsome – beauty
Bedecked and bedazzled – ornaments – arranged
In my eye she was seen – mirrors – miracles
Passion performed – I suffer – I feel – I am alive
I want to die and escape – entry – exit
Be I Hamlet – to be another – be happy
Haunted by our moment – that minute – a second
Whence love – joined – love.
