Tell me what you're thinking baby Your heart's beating faster than mine And I know something's going on in your life In your life.. In your life You were the girl I wanted to cry with You were the girl I wanted to die with And you were the boy who turned into the man Broke my heart and let go off my hand Our bed is empty, the fire is out And all the love we've got to give has all spurted out There's no more blood and no more pain In our kingdom of rain You think you know about life You think you know about love But when you put your hands inside me It doesn't even feel like I'm being touched, and You were the boy I wanted to cry with You were the boy I wanted to die with You've moved further from my side, year by year, While still making love dutifully sincere But as silent as the car lights that move across this room As cold as our bodies silhouetted by the moon And I would lie awake and wonder Is it just me or this the way love is supposed to be?

"All my designs simplified And all of my plans compromised All of my dreams sacrificed"

From metafilter today: "you've spent a lot of time being an obedient little robot and doing what you've been told, by people who give no shits about how you feel. Precisely how happy has this made you?"

Just a short Buddhist outlook on life.   1. Take into account that great love and great achievements       involve great risk.   2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.   3. Follow the three R's:       Respect for self       Respect for others and       Responsibility for all your actions.   4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a       wonderful stroke of luck.   5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.   6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.   7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate       steps to correct it.   8. Spend some time alone every day.   9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values. 10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer. 11. Live a good, honorable life. Then...

I imagine you in that darkened closet An unremarked node of imbricated data A confluence of modulated electrons Constrained to color-coded worms Of deep red copper fleshed in plastic You were picking the lock On a box filled with light But my mind turns from that beginning To the moments before the end And my thoughts have the texture of The surface of The wood of The wheel on Which they would break you Rough, splintered, unfinished Poorly formed But sufficient And in those moments Were you hooting with woe? Indrawing great sobs Like a child with whooping cough? Or were you moving surely through That world of knife edged shadows Making a choice that seemed The most adult you had ever made? Perhaps you will be reborn In the electric clash Of the mind of a child Understanding something new Or the moment of surprise When two opposing views Are shown to be equivalent

Running on the Rocks Searching the wide oceans with hooks and spears We shake the tall trees till the leaves drop round our ears Swimming the cold water where the sun will never shine Making preparations for the whip-crack time Hauling the Kraken up with blocks and chains - We're sailing into the eyes of hurricanes You know that no-one here gets out alive Only one thing makes it when the Devil drives: WE'RE GONNA STEEL UP THE FLESH TO THE FIRE YOU GONNA FIND OUT WHAT THE RULES ARE THEN WELL SISTER, SISTER, WON'T YOU PRAY FOR ME - WE'RE GOING RUNNING ON THE ROCKS AGAIN... Flaming amazement - madder than the gale Wreathed in shadows; crackling in the sails This is our mission now as then - We can do no other here we stand: Amen The winds are crying - remember me Through the holy silence of the desert and the sea The next Armada waiting for the tide Wind and rain are nothing to the storm inside WE'RE GONNA STEEL UP THE FLESH TO THE FIRE YOU GONNA ...
