half-gifts

it's an old game

my love

when you can't have me

you want me

because you know that you're not risking anything

intimacy is when we're in the same place

at the same time

dealing honestly with how we feel

and who we really are

that's what grown-ups do

that is mature thinking

well i'm still a junkie for it

it takes me out of my aloneness

but this relationship cannot sustain itself

intimacy is when we're in the same place

at the same time

dealing honestly with how we feel

and who we really are

that's what grown-ups do

that is mature thinking

i just have to know how to be in the process

of creating things in a better way

and it hurts but it's a lie that i can't handle it

i still have a world of me-ness to fulfill

i still have a life

and it's a rich one even with mourning

even with grief and sadness

i still care about this planet

i am still connected to nature

and to my dreams for myself

i have my friends

my family. i have myself

i still have me

i have my friends

my family. i have myself

i still have me
