Not Quite Free

This is what you mean to me My horrifying agony I try to let you leave me be But all I see is Liberty In face and name you look the part Beautiful and cold as thought Though how your heat you do explain I know not, for here I’m sane The heaviness of lying here beplagued by doubts (too close, too near) Has left me able to do naught But stare at all that I have lost For the thing that only we two know Gives my solitude and snow That thing that figures me a fool For loving that which kills my soul So now I run to save my faith In beauty of a shining place As the partner to my love Chances flying, wings the dove. But now i dare not follow you The one who killed to see me true if only now to conquer me and steal from me my honesty
