It is not the world I wanted.
Claim it not as your mistake.
If at night our eyes are haunted
maybe this could be our break.
Some great star will fall upon us,
some bright moon will make us see.
It does not go on forever.
We must make it, you and me.
I cave in to all the charms fear
casts my way in depths and dreams.
Bury me deep in your arms, dear.
Life is not the way it seems.

(From "Invalids and Uncles")
