i happened to glance at the clouds yesterday
and in their mirrorless matter
they still somehow managed
to reflect your beauty into my eyes.

i fell into a bottle of death yesterday.
the poison is still living in my veins
and my tainted blood
now makes me head spin and shout.

my imperfections bleed through my skin
my frustrations sweat through my shirt
my soberness leaves through my blood.
and im falling down and down and down.

please tell me you want to spend time in my arms
im lonely and pouring another shot
ill be dead someday.

Mitch Hedberg- RIP 1968-2005. your jokes have laughed me through a lot. I thank you.

    ah, yes, the heartfelt outpourings of the lonely lover which get more eloquent with each glass of wine/beer......what we really need is love.......and plastic is no longer acceptable........we really need love......(you know the JC variety), and I will personally organise a deep grave for people who think that things and money are an alternative to love.......I will involve myself in teh ethnic cleansing of the love-deficient......personally, blueintheface, I think you have added whole territories to the map of love, but as I am a child of the brain, I can only admonish my fellow-logicians to promote this heartfelt humanity.......a vision that you are part of......do I sound crazy?....and if I do, what of it......I embrace my madness......and think many people would be better off if they had gone through my experiences.....so I'm crazy......I'm a madwoman who agrees with you.......it doesn't detract from your wonderful poem ;)
    ....they're asking me to prove why I should be allowed to stay with my baby in Australia, because I'm mentally ill......and they think I should leave......
  • the bottle is not enough
    'all you need is love'
    but is love a crutch or the club that pounds one to the bottle
    if you have love is that enough
    what if the love you seek is not enough
    it should be, but what if it ends

    what then
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    I wasn't making fun of you honey.......I just noticed that the missing peeeee......might be the result of too much beer, and emptying yourself of Pee......might just be the solution.......it was only lighthearted......:)

    Two things , one - I've been usins english and only english my whole life (24 years), you would think I would have caught on by now

    and two (and this is REALLY bad) I'm studying to become a primary school teacher! Hope I don't teach them bad habits.

    But no really I am ok if I can sit down and think for a while and then go over what I have written an edit it. I think my real problem with English is lazyness. Anyway, I'm wrecking someones good thread here, so I'll shut up now

    as long as you teach them love honey, that's all they need......and I don't think you can fail in that area :)
