I cry ***** the color of Christ-blood. It stains these linen sheets and gets me drunker than Uncle Jim at a Christmas party. Lonely thoughts breed lonely feelings and lonely feelings hurt. They hurt in the same way you do, because they're made of the same stuff. Mixed in the same kitchen; the recipe is the same. One part brandy to one part cola to seven part tears. A little girl who believes in love is much better off than the one who does not. Much in the same way as a child believing in Santa Claus. Belief can only set you up for disappointment, but the feelings at the time of belief run deeper than the feelings after revelation.

Titled Number Twenty-Two.
I cry ***** the color of Christ-blood. It stains these linen sheets and gets me drunker than Uncle Jim at a Christmas party. Lonely thoughts breed lonely feelings and lonely feelings hurt. They hurt in the same way you do, because they're made of the same stuff. Mixed in the same kitchen; the recipe is the same. One part brandy to one part cola to seven part tears. A little girl who believes in love is much better off than the one who does not. Much in the same way as a child believing in Santa Claus. Belief can only set you up for disappointment, but the feelings at the time of belief run deeper than the feelings after revelation.
