You are what I've wanted at the closest,
|
at the furthest away.
|
|
When I was bound by compass marks,
|
You engaged me in the tallest grass
|
with the tines of a savage wreath.
|
(Oh, my savagery, my savagery!)
|
|
And in the convalescence,
|
after my heart was flayed,
|
divorced in a thick of thorns
|
and then began to heal,
|
You peeled open my wounds...
|
And I cannot accept Your offer.
|
|
Lover, I ache to,
|
but I cannot accept Your offer.
