Never underestimate the power of loneliness-song lyrics

"If I am wasting all your time this time
I guess you never learned to take
and if I am hanging on to your shade
I guess I am way beyond the pain"
 -Tori Amos

the archetype of loneliness is all pervasive, in the human experience

in the light

I don't want to say it
But maybe someone has got to

You don't seem to have the courage
to see this thing through

there has been laughter
there have been tears

I am at the limit of how much
I can talk about my fears

I fought so hard for us to find a way

only to just now hear you say
It is definite
we will never be lovers in the light
in other words
Shadows are all I have
to offer you

And then you wonder why
I don't want to stay
when all I can hear now is you say
It is definite
We will never be lovers in the light
in other words
Shadows and pain are all I have
to offer you

You know I always wanted to be in the light with you
to be set free
but that was not you
that was always me
I said
that was not you
that was always me
