I took a breath from my beloved
and carried it away
for that is what she did for me
one blesséd yesterday

I took the sight from my beloved
because she had so much
I breathed her in my memory
and know of what she's touched

But when I went to see her thoughts
you know what I should find?
Through all the layers of her mask
inside, she pays no mind!
