Can't we be together?

Member since 2001 · Posted 16 Mar 2002 · 3 comments

I don't want words To cheapen what I feel for you. Paper can't speak for my heart but Can it dull the pain of knowing that We can't be together? Don't think I haven't known. What you should know is that Your voice feels like a God is easing my fear And each time you smile I am born again. I don't need to be your life To have the illusion that I own you; Love is never owned and Owning your love doesn't mean that I love you. I would die for you, and yet My words have still been cheapened. What you mean to me is meaning, and I am not alone when I remember That the sun rises in our common sky.

My last functioning brain cell just abandoned ship. It's time to hurt mother. You're gonna go and make me put on my mask and milk her again aren't ya. Boy, oh boy the more of those leather straps I wrap around her breasts the more I understand the mysterys of the universe. Yes. I'm getting closer to the true name of God, and my friend, you have unleashed my entire collection of plug-in-ables to help me inch closer. Mother's gonna scream for joy. Thank you. Brother.
