A Schizoid Dreamz

so frigging true!

The Eternal Tree ~ Tove Ditlevsen

There are two men in the world, who
Are crossing my path I see,
And one is the man I love,
The other is in love with me.

And one exists in the nightly dreams
Of my sombre soul evermore,
The other stands at the door of my heart
But I will not open the door.

And once one gave me a vernal breath
Of happiness squandered - alack!
The other gave me his whole, long life
And got never an hour back.

And one lives hot in the song of my blood
Where love is pure, unbound -
The other is one with the humdrum day
Where all our dreams are drowned.

Between these two every woman stands,
In love, beloved, and white -
And once every hundred years it happens
That both in one unite.
