How can you always slip away in silence from my sight<br />

while you won't let anyone else join you inside my heart?<br />

How come you spun me out into this separation's night<br />

if you intend for my own end to be one with its start?<br />

In separation, what is lost? In union, what is gained?<br />

If our love burns right through <strong>the</strong> two, and our hearts share one<br />

name?<br />

If what is not should cease to be, and what is shall remain<br />

<strong>The</strong>n why shadowy sufferings, and why, my love, <strong>the</strong>se games?<br />

And why all <strong>the</strong>se diverse longings, and why this single pain?<br />

And why so many questions, when <strong>the</strong>ir answer's all <strong>the</strong> same<br />

And why all <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se why's while your beauty's so rare, so plain<br />

And why all <strong>the</strong>se complaints and lies, if truth is just your face?<br />

But "why" is talking's dying breath, just one more gasp till it gives out<br />

And silence is <strong>the</strong> narrow pass connecting my heart to your mouth<br />
