Shudder To ThinkYou have to some deified order of fate resigned;  It might be safe to say I, too, may presently leave my agency behind.  You live your life as if it were some consolation prize  The botched up dreams of a counterfeit tomorrow is all I see anymore  
When I look into your eyes.  You see death coming to you soon upon a spectral steed,  While I try in vain to breathe life into you, by mincing words you will not heed.  I try to cut the phone call short before the conversation turns sour,  It seems sooner rather than later will come our final hour,  And I shudder to think that these words could dictate s Shudder To Think

These DaysI told myself I would not write about unrequited love today.   
I look down at my little black cat and think,  "Funny how such a thought only exists in the human world."   
Yet again I plague myself with wonder-why-nots and wonder-what's-nexts,  And I question my morals and the originality of Shakespeare,  When every shadowed thing is brought to light,  And there is nothing new under the sun,  Looking back on the days (and I have not reached a score)  When I didn't have to look back on the days passed;  I knew no past, only future, and it looked like a piece of cake.   
Now I wo These Days

L'amour et la veriteeBless the Lord, O my soul,  With the life I lead--  But I am not whole,   
Though by You I am freed--   
In your Name,  Through your grace,  By love of He who came  Our names are given each a face.   
Resplendent in you,  And guided by your Light,  Teach me in Truth how to love  In the way that is right.   
For my heart has known some  To whom you may have called me  For a purpose clear enough, had I the sight.   
But I may have gone too far,  Stretching love thin,  And placing myself in its stead;  I may have taken love to mean L'amour et la veritee

Seeing You In New LightDo you know what you’re doing,  Doing to me?  Do you know the way you’re talking,  When you’re talking to me?  It sounds more like heaven than it ever did before,  And to think then that I could forget you,  That it was just a flight of fancy and nothing more,  But your words are so sweet, so warm, and so well  Do they trickle into me slowly, like honey,  Elixir of an unbreakable spell.  So why do I flutter, and flip, and so easily fluster,  And shiver, and hold my breath, I’m heady and giddy,  Blinded by the wings on which you bear me,  Oh! What to make of t Seeing You In New Light

The mind is a terrible thing to lose

Sun Nov 9, 2008, 10:55 AM
I'm back in school as of this recent August. It's been pretty busy, and as usual, I have a lot on my mind.

Here's a wonderful song by Muse to elucidate the immaterial mires of my mind, and the integral position of a certain person who may or may not be standing in my way. There's a lot of sacrifice I've been willing to make thus far, but my faith in my reasons for allowing this is wavering. The price for paradise is too high. There's another song for that: "Megalomania", I believe. Stockholm Syndrome will likely follow. Muse has been my life's soundtrack as of late.

"Map Of The Problematique"
Muse

Fear and panic in the air
I want to be free
From desolation and despair
And I feel like everything I saw
Is being swept away
When I refuse to let you go

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over

Life will flash before my eyes
So scattered and lost
I want to touch the other side
And no one thinks they are to blame
Why can't we see
That when we bleed we bleed the same

I can't get it right
Get it right
Since I met you

Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
Loneliness be over
When will this loneliness be over
