The Embers of What Was

I once knew the warmth of your heart, 
Imagined the caress of your fingertips
I once thought that I could be yours,
The love of your life
I once loved you, not a crowd loves a harlot,
But as a puzzle loves its missing piece

The Cry of the Lonely Lolita

There was a time when I thought I could live without you. Then, I realised, you were there all along, in every dream, every fantasy. You are even in the air I breathe. You are the air in my lungs, and I am hopeless if I think I can be without you.

Haley's Song

Every once in a while I forget to smile
My lips press together in secrecy, but my heart is on my sleeve
Now, dearest, I must know
When will you leave?
