[bodytext] => Above all,
beyond sight, in the deep recesses of darkness I feel the unfeeling. Cold and still lies the vacuum. The space between me and you and beyond, is not so far apart yet, I know... Cold and still lies the vacuum... Shivering and crying. Why bother even living? Beauty. In my mind, beyond reason, without warning, There she is, in my thoughts... Sad desperation for her lips, feebly hoping for her cheek. It's maddening. As always, I do this to myself. Yet. If I were to confess to her...my infatuation. She would no doubt awaken me from this pleasant dreaming. I must confess. Sometimes I feel like I need to be beaten down. So I can remember my place in this which is my reality. Mildly crippled, spinally deformed, lap dog for hire. Abused and bruised but affection guaranteed. And for convienience... bio-disposable. This mating game is so much trouble...almost as much trouble as the great food hunt. So much sickness inside. Creating insanity. The head begins to throb, the fingers twitch, and the eyes avert. Cold and still... I am weak with adoration for her. Yet I know from experience that I am heading for trouble. Cold... And still I dream... Of holding her here at dawn, in light golden sunbeams Woke up whistling... And then I shuddered at the thought of "never"... I love her, I know it. And love of another human being is as rare to me as life seems unfair to me... And I cannot share it. Unrequited....in every love that has spawned within me. Life and love. Animals. Hunting. Animals. Mating. I'm howling. We're revolving. Sun. Moon. Again. Cold and still lies the vacuum.... It never ends.
