how do you love a meaningless life ?

YOU DON'T  
YOU JUST PRETEND

::

Before I came to HP

I didn't know how easy it could be
To describe a silly romance

( I really didn't ! )

I THOUGHT PEOPLE HAD MORE SELF RESPECT

/./

I don't matter  

Obviously

/:/

I ' ll just have to watch you die

••
The fire in the sky

The el - train at dawn

The hungry slaves

The empty poems !

The lame poet boy

//

The funeral in the street

The dog packs have a lot to eat

Naked lovers make good meat

For the mad and the insane



The fires in the sky

The death behind the eyes

The ***** pulsates in the night

The ******* comes alive

For a little while

||||

After the years have bled

All the childish dreams away

And we are forced to see

What we have become

The sadness we have loved

And our own children

So untouched

We shall recall today

And the vision it contained

The poet and his love

We see him slowly walk away

We laughed when he cried

He was crying when you died
