She -- her life

The cat 
It came through the window
Went out by the open door
Didn't acknowledge entry 
Neither exit 
But it took away what it wanted. 



Love 
Like a cat 
Came through the window 
Went out by the open door 
Didn't acknowledge entry
Neither exit
But it took away what it wanted 



Pride 
Like a cat 
Came through the window 
Went out by the open door 
Didn't acknowledge entry 
Neither exit 
But it took away what it wanted


Death 
Like a cat 
Came through the window 
Went out by the open door 
Didn't acknowledge entry 
Neither exit 
But it took away what it wanted



She was lying on the pyre 
No more complaints 
No more anxieties
She was waiting for me 
To light the pyre 
Yes, I have to 
And I light it 
Flames and fumes 
Soured high 


I saw the tongues of fire 
Caressing her 
Saw she was submissive 
And the union was final 
And complete once and forever 

Saw the stars remain 
The sun moon and earth remain 
The wind is the same 
The fruits and flowers are the same 
Life is the same except for her 


Now I sit alone 
Writing the last words on her 
She was my beloved 
She had loved me 
More than I ever could 
But her love was so frantic 
That made her a maniac 
And that had ended her up
