How many lives have been lost
•
To the window
That shields us
From the wind, oh
How many lives have been lost
•
Flies, gnats,
Bees, grasshoppers and moths
Oh
How many lives have been lost
•
The answer, my friend, it depends
On where you draw the line
Either countless lives have been lost
Or countless bugs have died

Reclaiming Your Energy
Don’t let others delay your decisions for too long. Many people only truly learn how to make decisions after entering a relationship. Because their current living conditions are often stable—they have enough to eat and wear, and even in difficult times, they won't be destitute—it is relationships that most easily trap people in a tug-of-war of exhaustion and hesitation. It is these connections that most easily force you to confront your true self.

Killing him slowly
There’s an intruder in my house again. He stumbles through the door, wet carrier bags in hand. He’s bought me offerings. I show my appreciation, letting him caress my beautiful body. He wants to touch me. I rub myself against his legs. He sighs, dropping the bags. He can’t resist touching me. Running his hand slowly down my spine, I arch my back towards his caress, let out a low purr. It’s what we both need.
