The Union

If it was just the skin,
would the beauty it held be the same.
If it were just the bones,
would it value more than the naked shame.

If it was just the body,
would it be loved and be game.
If it was just the soul,
would she be seen ever again.

If it was just the heart,
would it be precious untamed.
If it was just the feelings,
would it make a difference if insane.

If it was not the union,
Would love ever take the shape
skin and bones,
body and soul,
heart and feelings.
Lest if it should be just us,
Would we have lived without them.
