21 " If you would have fucked me I would have been ok being Plath "
― Dorothea Lasky , Rome: Poems
22 " You are the kind of thing who takes from meAnd never gives anything awayAnd when you call to me with your synchronicityI can't help but run to youYou my horrible starI can't help but run to you when you call for me "
23 " He has a box of things that are separate and strangeI think when he looks this way and thatThat he is making a play for meI think in so many ways he does it all for me "
24 " But death is the ultimate blissfulnessTo be a candy or a corpseThe world holds you on its tongueAnd no one can save you "
25 " Thought Moves you past these lines Into conversation With the undead "
26 " And I go looking looking for you in the streetsAnd I never find youI never find you at all "
27 " And forgot about me You forgot about meAnd what I meant to youAnd then it was over "
28 " You were Something or someone I lovedBut I am a travelerAnd I love no oneBut the empty road "

30 " The sugar the ice on planets and starsThe romance of the eveningCoated in ice from your dead fleshAlready rotting from within "
31 " You know, I loved you I loved you I was wrong "
32 " Lilaced thing The soft rustle of beetle wingsIn air that is warm and greyAnd is not strong "
33 " And I am so aloneAnd I am alone hereWith the idea of ghostsAnd the idea of humanity, which is a cruel idea "
34 " My fear extends into the stars Don't you know I never will "
35 " Why? Because a demon is after me And he she it has beenSince the day I was born "
36 " I never knew what feeling was I only felt the pain "
37 " But there is there to carry us past it "
38 " What is living But fear "
39 " I have disillusionment of all o'clocks "
40 " I only felt the painThe things the you inflicted on me "
