"Live. and Let live long.
Live. Not for today.
Not for others.
But for yourself.
If you die.
promise to come back for me.
don't leave me on my own.
I cant add it up.
My heart
it hurts for you
and i wish
i had been there for you
Im cold.
Freezing.
Wrap my mothers afgan around me when i go
Make me feel at home.
MY heart
it hurts for me
as it does for you
except its not my turn
please let it not be yours
come through this strong
and dont leave me behind.
All on my own
Somewhere in the depths of me
a well has been renewed
a surge of anger
and resentment
is in me now
as i once saw in you
teach me how to be strong
like i always thought you were
i wish i could have been so stellar
i wish i wasn't absurd.
I know what you are all thinking
that i am on the edge
but the brink as i like to think of it
is really just a bridge
My heart hurts
for you and me
and them
and all
of us who think that just today
i might need a friend
other than the ones i have
and haven't seen today
that maybe i just need . . . something new
other than this disgrace
that i call my own life.
now Im all spent.
that surge is over
and my body overheats
My neck is stiff
with bending over, these black and white keys."
"Must I live in agony, for others to be entertained and realize glory."
