If you're looking for lovelook the other way,For, in this here glovelie only dues to pay,If you're looking for compassionor a safe asylum to stay,You better seek another fashionfor mine's been taken away,If you're looking for a mateto entwine with your array,Seek a different gatefor this yard beds a stray,If you're looking for a heart(that main emotional token)You'd better find the latter startfor all I have is broken,But if you're looking for silenceA lonely shadow of fear,Just look beneath the violenceand you'll always find me here.2000, Written October 10th, 2001 © on Oct 10 2001 01:24 PM PST   10 • 0 • 12
