There is love.

And love is said to be beautiful.
Spontaneous.
Ever so lovely.

But when I look at you,
Do you hear me saying that you should stay away?

Do you hear me begging
That you should keep me
Astray..

my dear love.

All I ever did was pound you,
hurt you
And
Ever
So
Simply...

Ignore you..

My love..
Can't you see?
I'm not that innocent girl
You used to see..

My lovely fellow,
How can't you know?
Sticking around beside me
Makes me wanna blow (explode)?

Fair human..
What do you see..
I'm afraid to say..
We're not meant to be..

My dear lover...
Do you need to know?
That my knees are bleeding
For you to go...

I'm such an evil person,
Of course you'd say no..
But whenever we hiss,
You tell the written sins that you know..

I know who I am..
And I'm not proud, you see?
I'm not perfect either,
Like you. Who doesn't see?

Not just that..
Other parties contradict..
You don't know how much I loved you..
They don't know that they make me sick..

My faithful friend,
What can you do?
How can it stop
*When you're loving me too..
Rant.
I like you

I tried not to see you go , but I confess that every day I am reviewing the same image , and every time is something new and different .

I Wish I had had the chance to say one more time that I still love you .

Now what belongs to me ?
Just a reminder of a time that guarantee , does not return.

I just want to die of it , dying of his love, die for love.
love

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my *******,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.

Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Your skin like dawn
Mine like musk

One paints the beginning
of a certain end.

The other, the end of a
sure beginning.

I never had the privilege to know you well enough,
I never had a chance to meet you in person,
But I know you well enough,
To know that you've changed the lives of millions.

It takes real talent,
To be able to touch and alter,
The deepest, darkest,
Corners of the human mind.

Yet,
It's something you did almost effortlessly,
You showed us the power of the pen,
And the paper.

You may have left us,
But you will never be forgotten,
This is a promise.

— The End —
