something broke in me
i’ve not been the same
a spring has sprung free
from my inner plane

i feel what you say
of your loss and grief
that on you do play
the tricks of a thief

how this can expose
irrational bursts
and volcanic throes
that have caused us hurts

you try close the rifts
with your love five-starred
with your healing gifts
that make it so hard

bless you my sweetheart
for trying so well
i can’t play my part
i’m broke where we fell

you have to believe
how hard it’s to say
for us to resume
I can’t find a way

fellow creative
i’ll hold tight your art
that i’m grateful of
that’s close to my heart

you from the keyboard
melodies did flirt
we have our record
of Mertens and Pärt

the flowering plants
you gave me to grow
are the confidants
when i feel my woe

with many book finds
that we so longed for
we broadened our minds
with conscious and more

from lucky hotel
to movies and talk
from in the sea swell
to park- and bush-walk

we flew lake mungo
we camped in the nude
we loved with full flow
we ate much good food

so what a great ride
so profound it’s been
i’ve nothing to hide
it’s heaven we’ve seen

but i can’t go on
something broke in me
that monday that’s gone
for i, no more we

i can’t change my mind
let’s live with it so
let’s to each be kind
and move on and grow

bring calmness to bear
acceptance to heel
you can call i’m here
it’s love-grief i feel
