I've tried to block your memory
To protect me from the pain
Pretend I never knew you,
And never heard your name.
But the walls aren't strong enough
And I fight my tears in vain.
The feeling came creeping through
and the hurt is still the same.
I wish I could forget you,
Or make you see me now
I thought you really cared
But it seems you don't know how.
The pain will ease in time
And though I know it's over
And what we had is gone
The memories will live forever
In a corner of my mind

She is not fair to outward vision,
As many maidens be.
Her loveliness I never knew
Until she smiled on me.
Ah! Then I saw her eye was bright
A well of love, a spring of light.

And with tears of blood he cleansed the hand,
The hand that held the steel:
For only blood can wipe out blood,
And only tears can heal.

the boys i mean are not refined
they go with girls who buck and bite
they do not give a fuck for luck
they hump them thirteen times a night
one hangs a hat upon her tit
one carves a cross on her behind
they do not give a shit for wit
the boys i mean are not refined
they come with girls who bite and buck
who cannot read and cannot write
who laugh like they would fall apart
and masturbate with dynamite
the boys i mean are not refined
they cannot chat of that and this
they do not give a fart for art
they kill like you would take a piss
they speak whatever's on their mind
they do whatever's in their pants
the boys i mean are not refined
they shake the mountains when they dance
Two halves have little choice
But to join;
And yes,
They do make a whole.
But two wholes
When they coincide. . .
That is beauty.

I looked out the window at dawn and saw a young apple tree translucent in
brightness.
And when I looked out at dawn once again, an apple tree laden with fruit
stood there.
Many years had probably gone by but I remember nothing of what happened in
my sleep.
