" Stay by my side
as my light grows dim
as my blood slows down
and my nerves shatter with stabbing pain
as my heart grows weak
and the wheels of my being turn slowly
Stay by my side
as my fragile body is racked by pain
which verges on truth
and manic time continues scattering dust
and furious life bursts out in flames.
Stay by my side
as I fade
so you can point to the end of my struggle
and the twilight of eternal days
at the low, dark edge of life.."

"At a certain point in your life, probably when too much of it has gone by, you will open your eyes and see yourself for who you are... especially for everything that made you so different from all the awful normals.

And you will say to yourself..."But I am this person."

And in that statement, that correction, there will be a kind of love."
