::: Hamlet :::

you were prince of my world
yet these days
when I try to think of you
I end up recalling Hamlet instead

trailing in the water
I imagined
your voice floating around my ears
but it was just the current

at least I brought my own flowers
to mark my grave
did you hear them call?
did you hear me?

did you come back?
did you cry for me
when you heard I'd died?
did you ever even know?

of all the love stories
why did you pick theirs for us?
you should have realized
I wasn't strong enough for tragedy

I fell in love with the tale
in your bright green eyes
but I'm Ophelia
I will never know your ending

::: Bleach :::

even if you replaced
all my blood
with bleach
even then I would never
be clean of your smell

strange
a sudden blindness
and now I can't see you
but your scent
is still in me

no poison is strong enough
to rid me of you
this stench
lives on past your corpse
residing in mine

how can I bear
this wafting flavour
though my veins are white
straining things
not meant for you

inhaling
it makes me sick
chlorine floods my lungs
but still I can't seem to
erase your stain

a moment of greed

If you will all forgive me a small moment of greed, my birthday is on Sunday. What I'd really like to do is treat myself to some Asian CDs/DVDs since I have not done so in well over a year. (Except for that Mean Machine CD Nori hunted down for me. Love ya, babe! <3)

Anyway, there are always a few of you silly people who insist you want to get me something for my birthday. If you are one of those, I would request a YesAsia gift certificate. Because, frankly, I'm broke and won't be buying anything from them of my own power for another few months at least, otherwise.



....feel free to ignore this. Ta now.
