What fault have you found in me,
That you should cower in the dark?
Retreat to your cage again,
I will leave the bars unlocked
Always
I have called you, I can wait
Until you learn to hear your name
Until the chasms in the floor
Won’t boast their blackness anymore
Shake off the grass and sand and leaves
Lay down your head on my knee
Take off the snare from ‘round your throat
Mine is the only voice you’ll know
