nothing drowns out everything
something keeps on happening
and always alone
builds itself a better home
and a better time
who knew..loving yourself
could make this whole agony
satisfy itself...until you waste away
and lead yourself to unwind..

In loving yourself you learn to love others,but this is a very good poem.

jackal: i like this one a lot... especially the idea of "building itself a better home"... very interesting imagery here

sincerely,
jerome the boy with no brain

A savage place! as holy and enchanted
As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted
By woman wailing for her demon-lover!
~Coleridge
