Have me

Halve me

Take me

Break me into two

If you

Salve me

I will speak like lovers do

If you

Solve me

Your embrace I will take to

You will never have to do

The things you used to have to do

You will never have to choose

Between two evils and a ruse

How my heart has ached for you

How my heart still breaks for you

Let safety be your embrace true

And I will cry for love of you.

Halve me

Have me

Take me

Break me, I don’t bruise

I only hurt when you I lose

I only bleed much when I muse

On the distance between

Our heartbeats two.

So

Halve me, but

Darling,

Have me, too.
