Tu Es Mon Autre

Soul or sister
Twin or brother
of nothing but who are you?
You are my greatest mystery
my only contiguous link
You wrap me up and envelop me
And you keep me in sight
You are the only animal
of my lost ark
You speak only one language
no disappointed word
The one that makes you my other
The recognized being
There is nothing to understand
And let the intruder pass
Who can expect nothing from it
Because I am the only one to hear them
The silences and when I tremble

You, you are my other
The strength of my faith my weakness and my law
My insolence and my right
Me, I am your other
If we were not from here
We would be the infinite

And if one of us falls
The tree of our lives
Will keep us away from the shadow
Between sky and fruit
But never too far from the other
We would be cursed
You will be my last second
Because I am the only one to hear them
The silences and when I tremble

You, you are my other
The strength of my faith
My weakness and my law
My insolence and my right
Me, I am your other
If we were not from here
We would be the infinite
And if one of us falls
