1. A companion to help me weep, staying up all night
Comforting me with his kind company

2. Whether my tears put him to sleep or injure his eye
Whether my ribs break his bones or his illness kills him

3. A scabby person who takes his soul from his body
So his life is hostage to his demise

4. Heals from injury then gets his neck hit
To make it a stronger cause of his recovery

5. I made him equal in his color and features
And preferred him in his misery and hardship

6. Assume he is like me, burning inside
His pillow all night long is his crying

7. Someone carefree all day long
Like a tortured soul day and night
