She’s gone again across the miles
and as they open up between her and I
I can feel this emptiness in my stomach growing again

Sister, lover, friend, equal … all of these … easily.
she wakes me from my sleep everytime she looks at me
and leaves me in some kind of ‘less than it could be’ agony
everytime she’s gone … she’s real amid dreams.
