Favorite Quote:
When you long with all your heart for someone to love you, a madness grows there that shakes all sense from the trees and the water and the earth. And nothing lives for you, except the long deep bitter want. And this is what everyone feels from birth to death.


I am the apple with the rotting side,

the sweater with an unraveling sleeve.
I am the sick puppy at the pound,

the pen that never writes.

I am what nobody wants.
Not even myself.

Short, sweet, and to the point, but it conveys that feeling so well... and i totally understand what you mean in this poem... great job! :)
