Pick up the pieces of my heart,
Take them with you.
In its place
I’ll light a candle in my chest.
If you ask, I’ll share the flame with you,
Lend you another candle
Made from my flesh.
Melt it and put the pieces together.
Fan it with your breath,
Sun it with your smiles,
Water it with your tears.
And when it’s whole again,
I’ll be gone.
Burnt into ashes,
Into the atoms of the star.
Don’t you search for me then
I’ll make sure you don’t.
I’ll take you to another one
Without a heart and with a hole.
Place my heart in it
With the love, you hid for me,
She and I then will be one
You and I will be she.
