Romance is a way to cover up that 'love' is a four-letter word.
Romance is a chemical reaction in the brain intended to further the species.
Romance is a dirty trick, played by a selfish brain.
Dreamlike. Wasn't going to write about this but last night (late night), browsing the Internet, looking at websites, sharing some, all different, strong, strange emotions. This is a montage to me; feeling blender, writing too fast. I'm tired.
I remember we would all line up outside, the taste of plastic and too much water, and there's always that one girl who throws up every night for attention. Funny, the Army, that way -- that getting sick could be a positive. So twisted. I will never drink from another canteen.

Stinging eyes and
Warming face and
Stealing oxygen from lungs
Feel myself
Burning
Inside out
You are
Consuming
Relentless lick of flames
And I
Am the torch
