i used to say, the more tragic the better

[spinning_sorrow]

"i remember vividly a day years ago, we were camping and you knew more than you thought you should know. you said, "i don't ever want to be brainwashed" and you were mindboggling, you were intense, you were uncomfortable in your own skin, and you were thirsty, but mostly you were beautiful..."

"the answer the each moment must be yes,
and the question, can you live with that, becomes the test
so you weight it against the aching in your chest
and that secretly relentless emptiness/
and you talk it out and you talk it down,
but your eyes are not listening
and my ears are looking around
for another song to sing,
but it is you each time
it is you."

i've never known anyone who Cares so much.
