SHARE

I do not want to share you

I want you to myself

How can you say: "I love you"

I wonder for whom

You split yourself in half

I do not want to share bed

Or feel his arm around

How can you ever say that

Or even ask that I let

him... I might as well have drowned

My heart is halfway broken

That half is not for him

I give it you as a token

For after you have woken

I'll only be a dream
