    snuff

    Bury all your secrets in my skin
    Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins
    The air around me still feels like a cage
    And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again...

    So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know.
    My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there.
    Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate
    I don't deserve to have you...
    My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know

    I still press your pictures to my lips
    And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss
    I couldn't face a life without your light
    But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight

    So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear.
    You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough?
    I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end.
    I never claimed to be a Saint...
    My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go

    So Break Yourself Against My Stones
    And Spit Your Pity In My Soul
    You Never Needed Any Help
    You Sold Me Out To Save Yourself
    And I Won't Listen To Your Shame
    You Ran Away - You're All The Same
    Angels Lie To Keep Control...
    My Love Was Punished Long Ago
    If You Still Care, Don't Ever Let Me Know
    If you still care, don't ever let me know...

    very painful!

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
