Couple of my favorite quotes
He tried friendship for years and knew the truth
He wanted someone to be nice to him for an hour
He was lonely
It made no sense that someone would find him attractive
That someone would want to be with him for what he was
In his business everybody wanted something
There was always and ulterior motive, a game being played
There was something wrong when someone was nice to him
And they werent getting paid
Every time someone wanted to shake his hand
He wanted to say:
What are you after?
How much do you want?
He was not a bad person
He just couldnt identify
Some things are too embarassing
I could never tell you
I could never tell anyone
How much I think about you
How it scares me
Every morning as insomnia's grip loosens
I stare at your picture
I think of your painful shyness
Your ravaged self-opinion
Your incredible beauty
How drawn I am to you
You are the reason I dont want to die all the time
When I am with you life is worth living
Time away from you is strange and full of pain
When I look into your eyes
I can see how life has savaged you
It's ok if you fall
I will be there to catch you
Anyone who would want to hurt you
Would have to kill me to do it
I will never be able to pound words into lines
To match the velocity of your presence
The loneliness that the world generates
We keep it going all night long
Waiting for a dull moment, or a lot of dull moments
To sneak away from the pain
During these unmoving silent nights I feel its crushing wheel
Is there anyone in the world who I can know?
I am tired of knowing myself so well
