Tuesdays with Morrie

'Do you know how they brainwash people? They repeat something over and over. And that's what we do in this country. Owning things is good. More money is good. More property is good. More commercialism is good. More is good. More is good. We repeat it -- and have it repeated to us -- over and over until nobody bothers to even think otherwise. The average person is so fogged up by all this, he has no perspective on what's really important anymore.'

- Sigmund Freud

No mortal can keep a secret.

If his lips are silent,

he chatters with his fingertips;

Betrayal oozes out of him

at every pore.

Dearly beloved,

we are gathered
here today to mourn
the phone calls we
never got and the
lonely seasons.
The children cried,
"Does it ever go away?"
They're asking about heartache
and you know better than to lie,
so you answer truthfully
and you say no.
"It doesn't go away."
Everyone is taught to
look both ways before
crossing the street and
to talk quietly in the library,
but nobody ever learns
anything that matters,
like how to keep breathing
when your heart breaks in half.

Seven Years

I can't seem to understand why you've stayed around for this long

I've slowly torn you apart
Year after year

I'm sorry I made you fall for me....
And I'm sorry I never knew what I wanted

You deserve so much more than this....
Much more than I can give you

You deserve your "perfect girl"
And I'm not her

You've always been stuck in my heart
And my heart is where you'll stay

Gitchee Gitchee Goo
Here's to those seven years you've been put through hell but always came back
Here's to you and the mark you've made on my life
Cheers
This is for you
