Oh dear when I say that I\u2019m ready to grow older\nAnd when I trace kisses on the back of your shoulder,\nKnow that in my tongue it means \u2018love, love, love\u2019\n\nTo build a home from a word, one pain,\nAnd so have a roof to keep out the rain\nAnd stand in its ruins when the wrath of our joy will come from above.\n\n\t\t\t(If one day I could find that your hand fits in mine,\n\t\t\tOn the isle of wonder, washed up by the tide,\n\t\t\tThen no deed nor sin shall have a meaning I know\n\t\t\tAnd there\u2019s no way in hell that I will let you go.)\n\nBut still to this day I find my hands empty,\nNo crown on my head, and no \u201cmy fair lady\u201d\nMy memories are one lonely memorabilia;\n\t\t\t(but no love comes from a pen,)\n\nOh I\u2019m broken in lacheism,\nWaiting in ellipsism,\nI\u2019m as mad as Ophelia.\n\t\t\t(so drown me then.)\n\nThe wind and the ocean speak in my tongue\nAnd Death tries to lure me, to love her with song;\nOn this cliff I scream and if still no one comes I\u2019m afraid I will fall.\n\t\t\t(and if we are to be phantoms, let our shrouds be paper-thin;)\n\nAnd if no heart can find in mine a twin,\nLet frost cover all of my loveless skin.\nIt seems that my fate was to be the loneliest monster of all.\n\t\t\t(but promise me one thing, dear.)\n\nLet me haunt nightly shores\nWhere the dark water roars,\nAnd may mariners cover their ears,\nLet them grip their boat\u2019s railing in fear\n\nAnd whisper \u201cdon\u2019t heed the call!\nLet her cry in the squall,\nShe\u2019s the loneliest siren of all.\u201d\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t(please tell me you \n\t\t\t\t\t\tare the one \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twho shall \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tkill me.)\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
