Company

How could my soul know happiness
if it was locked alone in an empty room
hearing nothing but its own heart beat?

What sense would I make
if I was only talking to myself?

What musician would I be
if I was the only one hearing me?

What wisdom would I have
if I was only impressing myself?

What artist would I be
if only my eyes saw my art?

What kindness would I have
if I was only kind to me?

What lover would I be
if I could not love another?

How much would I mean to me
if I was never desired?
