I was tattered and drunk staring in the mirror;

A blank expression with a tear-stained face;

Unshaven, unkempt, the weight slowly melting away,

The bones slowly revealing their form, ready for the grave, with slapped on talcum to keep the lesions covered, wherever they may stain.

The aches, the pains, the inability to stand, fill my brow with a cold sweat that casts a cloak upon my bra...

Got guilt, depression and so much obsession.

O-C-D-C

1-2-3;

C-D-O-D

For I am shelter where hurt fish cry,

We’d Fly Rings Around the Moon

On quiet nights,
I think of you
And the thought of your embrace,

To find I am in love,
I get this hurt,
That lingers,
If only your heart would open,
We’d fly rings around the Moon.

To be your lover by night
And friend by day,
And really get to know y...
