Krama

It's your absence that marks me
The places where I tremble

There's the love we carry
And the one we throw in the face
There are the words we keep
And the words we chop

Don't you want to hug me?
Don't you want to hug me?
Can't you be here?
Don't you want to hug me?
Can't you be here?

I cultivate the void
The sacred
The rare
The beautiful
The intense

I will preserve the sublime
Through the veil of distance
There are the embers we extinguish
And the ones we love to see ignite

There are the bodies we embrace
And those who prefer to leave

Don't you want to hug me?
Can't you be here?
Don't you want to hug me?
Can't you be here?
