By Now, Anyway

If I didn't know you so well by now
I would still believe every word you say
Although I know it's not true somehow
It all sounds different from your tongue anyway
You will always be my lover, like The River held Suzanne
And there will never be another holding Heaven in her hand,
While I struggle with a distance that grows further with each day
Like a play of death and murder when the stage is only clay
Watching it all go away into an ancient memory fade
Behind millennia of mask I find there is no one there to ask in kind
Is all there is to mind and allow
It all sounds different from your tongue anyway
Although I know it's not true somehow
I would still believe every word you say
If I didn't know you so well by now . . .

So much pain in love when love is but a lie. What a dark beauty you have written with heartfelt sorrowful phrasing, accepting the reality of your vulnerability though you know the truth of lies.
