[hometext] => someone died in life and love.
[bodytext] => a Man died as he bends to pick up his Hat. a Bird struggles in its Flight under the Storm. a Boy and a Girl stares at the People playing a Chess game, with thoughts of Love, but mostly Fear. Time is ticking, We were waiting for a Move. but They stood still like a Photograph from a Summer long forgotten. Talks and talks but never Thinking. Three minutes and Thirty-three seconds of Trust, then Abandonment. Attack! Attack! Guard this Tower, as you have guarded Hysteria. Count the Sand in our feet. Girl looks at Boy longing to touch his Lips, to bring him inside Her Chapel, and call off the Wedding. Will You ever understand Me? it is not easy. Boy looks at her, but his mind is somewhere else... ...to the Man and his Hat, to the Bird and its Flight, to the next Move of the Chess player. of 11:39 tonight. I didn't see this coming. For I wished we Loved each other, perhaps i was expecting more, maybe you never really thought about a single, yellow rose. why can't i be Loved? i've Knelt before an Altar, a Wall, a Mirror... but still, You're never Touched. i deny being a Tragic Hero, i abhor Pathetic Falls. i don't need to be blamed for Something that never happened. Defense! Defense! from Day 1 to Day 13, i've kept the Fences high. i imprisoned my Heart with a barb wire. i limited the Breaths we share. They could not Hurt you, for they know sooner or later, i'll look in Your Eyes, and Bow before You, while You crack a Smile and invite me Under the Bridge. what do we do in the Dark? what do we do in the Cold? talk and cry to each other? no. never. not at all. i almost Died the Other Night as You told a Story of Children and Starry Mornings. you smoke that Cigarette as you watch the Chess game. i look down to the corner of the Table as i try to Whisper something in Your Ear. By Lies, we mean there's a Chances for us. By Love, i mean Nothing. - Rae'04. 122604. Sun. 11:57PM.
