      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      -J.L.S.

      Cold but delightful,

      I like the stinging blood

      That splashes outside my body

      And taints my very soul.

      Give me the delight which

      I have not had for quite some time

      Because I am lacking the very thing

      Which has kept so many of my cells alive.

      Perhaps, I am dying inside because I lack

      What some of these people call paradise.

      The youth that once ran through my veins

      Has disappeared down the cracks

      Of my skin, and I feel caged within my soul.

      No longer can my youth see the light of day,

      Unless I get exactly what I need.

      3/27/03

      Warmth and devotion, these are the things

      That no longer exist in this hostile atmosphere.

      What is going on here? I can tell you nothing,

      For I am but a tiny organism, crawling

      On the surface of the earth.

      This pale face knows nothing warm,

      Not since the day I have fled this place.

      Oh, these trappings are going to show us

      No mercy, but we have to find some way

      To rely on each other.

      Replace the values that have been eradicated

      So long ago;

      Hope is the only element left outside the box.

      6/25/03

      Would you consent into letting me

      Give you my highest recommendation?

      You are the best person I know for

      The position because no one else can

      Do the job quite like you.

      Oh, we have known each other for years,

      And we can’t let these obstacles get in our way.

      No one quite knows the traditions that have

      Made themselves a name during the days

      While we were away.

      I don’t know what the
