letra de i cannot live with you - julie harris

Loading...

i cannot live with you —
it would be life —
and life is over there —
behind the shelf

the s-xton keeps the key to —
putting up
our life — his porcelain —
like a cup —

discarded of the housewife —
quaint — or broke —
a newer sevres pleases —
old ones crack —

i could not die — with you —
for one must wait
to shut the other’s gaze down —
you — could not —

and i — could i stand by
and see you — freeze —
without my right of frost —
death’s privilege?

nor could i rise — with you —
because your face
would put out jеsus’ —
that new grace
glow plain — and foreign
on my homеsick eye —
except that you than he
shone closer by —

they’d judge us — how —
for you — served heaven — you know
or sought to —
i could not —

because you saturated sight —
and i had no more eyes
for sordid excellence
as paradise

and were you lost, i would be —
though my name
rang loudest
on the heavenly fame —

and were you — saved —
and i — condemned to be
where you were not —
that self — were h-ll to me —

so we must meet apart —
you there — i — here —
with just the door ajar
that oceans are — and prayer —
and that white sustenance —
despair —
