In the gardens
Where I’ve walked
For days on end alone
I’ve found that I can live
Without another human soul

But why would anyone
Want to live like you
The birds call out
To me
Asking about you

So I answer them in riddles
To distract them from the answers
And the day goes by once again
But the only true solution
To the question
Is not their hypothesis
On which to tread

Yes, I can see you there
Staring through the trees
Can I touch you once more
My heart going out to search in vain
I’ve caught your disease
And you’re leaving me in the dark

This place no longer holds my amusement
I can not bare the cold thoughts
You told I could come be you
In your garden
Where the flowers will always bloom
