2003-07-11 @ 1:35 a.m. Today's headlines read: "Malevolent Boy Harms Innocent Lover" It is scribbled atop a page in a tattered diary By an ink that knew nothing of such pain Pitieous words coalesced with tears Bleed down the sheet for dramatic effect While her beads of ruby red sorrow Dot the i's and cross the t's "Why can't hearts stay in one place? Why can't his heart be mine?" She laments in cursive letters Gazing at the moon by which she measures the hours Her torment is written loud enough so he can hear How much damage he has done It makes me wonder why these things happen... Because what kind of God would send you an angel That didn't love you back? One that constantly dreamed of someone else While softly caressing your body Wishing it were hers One that would depart like a nightengale As soon as you thought you were saved by its song Leaving its melody to haunt your memories forever I'd like to know what kind of God allows an angel To lead you to the beautiful realm of Eden Just to find out that you're not on the guest list? All to hear "sorry, no entry"? Will the world's desperate lovers be able to find contentment? Will our love ever be requited? Will our love ever be wanted? Until those questions can be answered Here we will sit, drink cheap wine and write of our misfortune Three cheers to hopelessness, lovelessness and lonliness Here's to cold, fitful nights While our angels sleep well with others And when we pass out we will dream of what could be What should be Because that's all we'll ever get This is the sound of a thousand diaries crying for the same thing This is what is written in such agony every day If only those we write about could hear. .Past. Entries.
