Refrain

          I sang the refrain

          from that song you and I know

          by heart

          I sang the refrain last night

          I refrained

          did not say what would not be right

          refrained from speaking

          what my heart could sing

          Identify with me

          you must know what it is

          to refrain

          Identify me

          I am the perpetrator of a casualty

          I dreamed it up

          A love that is unspoken

          dilates from the source of all love

          it passes between us

          then comes between us

          intervenes

          I need no more than this
