Do you think that I don't know what you do with my words?

You're a f*#@ing verbal contortionist!

wisdom known to gals of just a certain age

As I sit in this bookstore/coffee shop I see the biography section

Without You

Without you there is pain

Every breath outside your presence is a futile gesture

Enough to sustain my body and mind while my heart chokes more and more

Every step outside your presence

The conductor wildly waves his baton
mimicking the weary minds of his players.
Sitting catatonic and suicidal beneath
several agonizing apathetic layers.
