Once I Was Beautiful. Now I Am

My Heart Is On A Budget. It Keeps Me On The Brink.

Please God, We're All Right Here. Please Leave Us Alone. Don't Send Death In His Fat Red Suit And His Ho-ho Baritone.

I Love You. You Are Closest To My Heart, Closer Than Any Other Human Being. You Are My Extension. You Are My Prayer. You Are My Belief In God. For Better Or Worse You Inherit Me.

I Hoard Books. They Are People Who Do Not Leave.

Yet Love Enters My Blood Like An I.v., Dripping In Its Little White Moments.
