Without your love, I’m nobody I know.
Our inter-self, dismembered,  broke apart
Give me courage on the journey slow

In good times , we lose our self in flow
To be self-conscious lets shame rule the heart
Without your love, I’m nobody I know.

Do we have no self when partners die?
Bewildered, can I find the way to start?
Give me courage on the journey slow

Where is the path where I discover hope
The way to mend a self,  holed by grief’s darts?
Without your gaze, I’m nobody, I know

Like a ship   strikes rocks deep down below
I risk getting killed without new charts
Give me courage on the journey slow

Will I know myself in inner space?
Who will now console me, gone your grace?
Without your love, I’m nobody, I know.
Give me courage in the darkest low
