Tired, tired,
So tired of living,
So tired of breathing in
To hold within this gift of life
...
All of my life
I had just one desire -
To own a red bicycle,
But I never did.
...
I wish that I would die tonight
Before my parents wake
& leave my vacant, youthful shell
Horizontal, on virgin-white sheets.
...
Awake, but not awake;
My mind keeps my eyes veiled
&, by his charm, he lures me - far -
Down his well-worn, fruitless trails.
...
Two minus signs
Across thine eyes;
Two O's are over mine.
Oh, my dreaming beauty,
...
The Lough Ness Monster,
The days of old,
The end of the rainbow,
The pot of gold,
...
