Sometimes when you're married You drift away within. Outside you stroll together; Inside you live in sin. A rich imagination Provides your ecstasy, A cordless, mobile heaven Where everything is free. The garden that you tend Is not the one you roam; The part of you that sings Is not the one at home. A strange and burning life: What's real is not what's true. And no one knows the passion That you believe is you. And so you are distracted, Two people in a jar, Bound by love and fate, Yet never what you are Until by chance life rips A hole right through your wall, And nothing you've imagined Looks like you at all.
