Introduction to
Songs of Loss and Longing

I hate how you are only
a shadow in my mind
i hate how i am lonely
knowing i'll never find
your presence more than haunting
your cruelty still taunting
dead heart, lost soul, and eyes forever blind

I hate that it's the strongest
motivation of our kind
this feeling that cuts deepest
with such deadly double bind
fusing love and lust and longing
hope driven desperately to wronging
what few friends are left behind
Sweet Wisdom, save me from my weakness, sweet Sanity, remind!
