I swear to you,
because of you...

I wish so many things,
But I wish for you...

I know this much about the future;
It is all that lies ahead...

Have you ever been to the dead sea?
Neither have I...

I learned a long time ago
that melting wax over flower petals...

I know you bought that water
But I need it more...

It's been six months, eight,
Eight happy months that they've been together...

I've slept with him.
In my mind...

I watched over my provider's shoulder
as the dogs tore her to shreds...

He grabbed her by the wrist and yelled at her.
"Hands are for playing the piano...

I went shopping yesterday.
Not for a boy; just window shopping...

Someday this dormant patriot
will be forced out into the world...
