I can't lose what I don't have, so
I beg that you stay away from me.
I'll misunderstand the brush of your hand.
I'll fall in love with your selfish fun.
You know in your mind that I won't go.
Your eyes hold me like a loaded gun;
you're placing my own finger against the trigger.
Look at what you've already done.
I'm intoxicated by your scent,
the grayed hair at your temples,
the cleft in your chin.
If I'm fighting two battles,
how can I ever win?
I can't lose what I don't have, so
I beg that you stay away from me.

Favorite Quote:
The room was very quiet. I walked over to the TV set and turned it onto a dead channel-white noise at maximum decibels, a fine sound for sleeping, a powerful continuous hiss to drown out everything strange.&quot;
