She said: "When I die I'll feel young, regardless of my current state."
_______________________________________________________________
"It Is Not Always May" (by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow)
The sun is bright,--the air is clear,
The darting swallows soar and sing.
And from the stately elms I hear
The bluebird prophesying Spring.
So blue you winding river flows,
It seems an outlet from the sky,
Where waiting till the west-wind blows,
The freighted clouds at anchor lie.
All things are new;--the buds, the leaves,
That gild the elm-tree's nodding crest,
And even the nest beneath the eaves;--
There are no birds in last year's nest!
All things rejoice in youth and love,
The fullness of their first delight!
And learn from the soft heavens above
The melting tenderness of night.
Maiden, that read'st this simple rhyme,
Enjoy thy youth, it will not stay;
Enjoy the fragrance of thy prime,
For oh, it is not always May!
Enjoy the Spring of Love and Youth,
To some good angel leave the rest;
For Time will teach thee soon the truth,
There are no birds in last year's nest!

When I die I'll feel young, regardless of my current state!
She'll feel young!

Can't get used to this constant motion
Things are changing too fast
For someone who's mesmerized
By rags of memories
Dreamin' of your past
You were holy then, you're special now
Hopin' for a miracle
But knowin' it won't come true
Daylight is a nosy housemaid
Keep your tongue under lock and key
Bad dreams are prompted by
Spatial dichotomies
That's the way life goes
Holy ghost, I forgot your birthday
I truly thought it was May 14
We'll have a party to celebrate
The broken union of the stars
If you told me I was someone special
I'd have to laugh in your face
Cuz time likes to propagate
Billions of special babies
I'm sentimental, so complicated
Tryin' ta make sense of the world
Buy me a fucking birthday cake
And I'll count you among my friends
That's the way life goes

"A Visit from St. Nicholas" (by Clement Clarke Moore)
'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds;
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;
And momma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from my bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow,
Gave a lustre of midday to objects below,
When what to my wondering eyes did appear,
But a miniature sleigh and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old driver so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name:
"Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! on, Cupid! on, Donner and Blitzen!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all!"
As leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky;
So up to the housetop the coursers they flew
With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too—
And then...

Friends flicker in and out
Kindness begets their arrival
Stay forever, won't you?
Please come back soon
Loneliness
Anxious for the beep
That signals the arrival
Of a form of a friend
Errr...
A friend in the form of...
A poor substitute
Yet at least I am not alone
Thoughts channel outward
Distracted by laughter from another world
Until...
Alone.
I try to drive out the black dogs with music
Though their yelps usually cause me to...
Dissolve
__________________________________________
I'm so alone
Don't know why you'd think of me as your friend
When you inquire if I'm livin' in sin
If life has rules then I'll never begin
Reject, remove demons under my skin
Na na na na na na na na na na

I am leaving the house
For the last time
Yet still I reach in my closet
For a jacket
To protect me
From the cold
As I walk
Through the streets I know so well
I fear nothing
I am invincible and mortal
At the same time
The Moon shines her blessings onto me
My figure, enlarged
No light can seep into me
No need to hurry
If God were here
I'd be dead already
Yes, I am ready

I had it all
I knew it all
I found it all
I kept it all
Then I hit a wall
It left me dazed and confused
Later I lost it all
Among the sprawl
Walk along the wall
I feel like I'm falling
Don't stand too tall
They'll shoot you down
You're in for a wild ride
I ask my heart questions every day
There's sunshine on your face it's a beautiful day
I've been taking time every day
I petition my mind for the right words to say
