   I have told her that our lives were perfect 
                         despite my work and desire 
                                       to travel the world
she can not see my problems as being hers
                               and I am married alone

I carry this burden which is not a person 
                          or creature or obligation 
                                     I carry an idea of
            completeness that drains my soul
                             
                            locking me in shadows
                                    blocking my light

I see her 
in the night
the pain of rejection
I saw her falling for her oppressor
being merciful to someone that is external
and projecting her goodness on this monster

         now her monster and herself are reflection in the glass
                 such a thin glass made for break but she is unable
                                                    She is waiting for a miracle

I see her 
as bright as day
all of her motivation 
which can get things done and be happy
about it the child smile and close attention
She is part of spring when let things grow
She is capable of wonderful garden full of roses

             and the smell and safe feeling of standing around
surround by smiles respected
   admiring moments of peace
                                                                   my love is mine
                                                                    and I can share

I love her with the bottom of my heart
     but she seems an impossible dream
                         
                        she does not let me fly 
                         she allows me to sing


How could I say now, honey, I can't stay with you if I can't go
well, hadn't I just said?
