you spoke to me in siren song, anyone would drown

I never want to see you unhappy.

-----

Is there always something greater? or is this the greatest?

-----

Fishnets and fighting clothes
you don't know what to do with those
a foreign language is
only the beginning
of this trip we're taking
in the middle of
the Bleak
mid-winter

I thought it should be known that I play this song every day.
I also found another arrangement of it and discovered a missing, rather upsetting verse.

The water is wide, I cannot get o'er,
and neither have I wings to fly;
give me a boat that will carry two,
and both shall row, my love and I.

O down in the meadows the other day,
a gath'ring flow'rs both bright and gay,
a gath'ring flow'rs both red and blue,
I little thought what love can do.

I leaned my back up against an oak
thinking that he was a trusty tree;
but first he bended and then he broke;
and so did my false love to me.

A ship there is and she sails the sea,
she's loaded deep as deep can be,
but not so deep as the love I'm in:
I know not if I sink or swim.

I put my hand in some soft bush,
thinking the sweetest flow'r to find,
I pricked my finger to the bone,
and left the sweetest flow'r behind.

O love is handsome and love is fine,
and love's a jewel while it is new,
but when it is old it groweth cold,
and fades away like morning dew.

Blu

Blue.
Blue eyes
Blue hair?
Blue fingernails.
Blue lights in the subway
Blue doors
Blue sky
Blue bag
Blue tile
Blue paint
Blue suit
Blue building
Blue Brain!
Blue blood
Blue bug
Blue ocean
Blue eyes.
Blue.

waiting for the G

FED UP
in love.

Do you know where to find your home?
Because I painted it Grey
and cut down all the trees
and your front door is boarded up.
shhhhhh!hhhhhh.

your heart is where your leave it.
It sometimes pays to have a bad memory.
or did you cut yours into pieces - too small to hold?
