When you need a shoulder to cry on
My shoulder is here for you
When you need a hug
I am here with open arms
When you need someone to love
I already love you
the dream felt so real;

the want and the passion,
the heat and the lust
while my mouth touched yours,

our breaths pacing
our thoughts filled

and all at once,
time moved backwards.
She also underwent breast reduction surgery in 1992, and has said on the subject:

"I really love my body and the way it is right now. There's something very awkward about women and their ******* because men look at them so much. When they're huge, you become very self-conscious. Your back hurts. You find that whatever you wear, you look heavy in. It's uncomfortable. I've learned something, though, about ******* through my years of pondering and pontificating, and that is:

Men love them, and I love that."
Blood shot eyes,
drunk with regrets infused
with cheap beer,
Laughing at our own stupidity
As we fall, stumble
and pick each other up,
only to wobble again
We'll blissfully endure the
nausea
and throbbing headaches cause we've been through
much much worse,
Together.

Knowing us,
we'll probably end up on
some rooftop at 3 in the
morn,
In a drunken haze
counting the stars one by one,
confessing our well-kept
secrets,
and vomiting all the bile that
life fed us

Sure with heads spinning,
and the blurry vision
accompanied by endless
'little room' visits
we'll say
'Never again',
Only to turn it around with
another round

When misery finds us,
Don't fret
I'll hold the cracked mirror
to your face, you do the same
And we'll find humor in our imperfections
And there, we'll dance to our temporary happiness

When they dare tell us
'You're too young to be empty',
We'll look at them
Look at us
And burst into laughter
I'll be here,
through drunken nights
and sober days,
Always.

I promised we'd meet
before I died. I didn't
know you could die too.
All these countless stars
Just the million shades of colors
The mystery floating in the air
The weeks, the days, the hours;
The very feeling when you smile
Changing into guilt's home tower
The pain, this fickle pleasure
Gratitude which has the healing power.

What an amazing creature I am
How astounding you yourself are
The power to create on and on
Lies always just a thought away;
The first shower of rain after summer,
The romanticizing drops of midnight dew
Breathing in, breathing out
Disease and meaningless doubt.

Would you ever dream of shooting stars?
Could you in your wildest dreams build beauty like today?
Do not cry
There's still hope left
You will not die
Until you purposely **** yourself.
Must I bleed on your thorns, beautiful Rose?
Should I forsake you?
Must I leave you, my beautiful Rose
If I only want that thorn-less you?
