Within Without

Like a song stuck in your head
It’s impossible to unhear me,
Like a bad habit 
It’s hard to uncrave me, 
Like a recurring dream
It’s difficult to unsleep me,
Always in your thoughts
I am the slip of your tongue,
When you talk of someone 
inadvertently my name creeps in…
My life’s so entwined with yours
you could not unwove me;

I am your fervent longing
you cannot unlove me,
I am the heat of your passion
you cannot unquench me.

Like your heart beats
Like the air you breathe
I am always there
I am always around...
As within, So without!
