The Loki Dance

husband song

came quite simply
came quite bravely
stripped down and
loved you
came to me quite
unexpectedly and
never would leave
how i tried to
get you out of
my system you've
been fused to my
soul somehow your
laughter infects every
sad thing with
a smile
somehow you reached me
even when i could
not reach myself swept in
when i was not speaking
i hear your words
when you are not even there
i would stare at my arms
used to be a road map of
sorrow pointing this way
and that to when i was
destroying myself
you would not admonish
you would not patronize or
put meaning where there was
only feeling
bring to me words "lovely"
and "you are so close to my heart"
i knew i could never leave you then
not when
you've been fused to my
soul somehow your
laughter infects every
sad thing with
a smile
somehow you reached me
even when i could
not reach myself
came quite simply
came quite bravely
stripped down and
loved you
came to me quite
unexpectedly and
never would leave
how i tried to
get you out of
my system you've
been fused to my
soul somehow your
laughter infects every
sad thing with
a smile
somehow you reached me
even when i could
not reach myself
