I am your husband, but you turn away.
I am the captive, but you do not free me,
I am the captain you wil not obey
I am te truth, but you will not believe me,
I am the city where you will not stay,
I am your wife, your children, but you will leave me,
I am that God to whom you will not pray/
I am your councel, but you do not hear me,
I am your lover whom you will betray,
I am the victor, but you do not cheer me,
I am the holy dove whom you will slay.
I am your life, but if you will not name me,
Seal up your soul with tears, and never blame me
Charles Causley (1917-2003)
