You

If anybody asks you who I am.
Just stand up tall, look em' in the face and say:
"I'm that star up in the sky. I'm that mountain big up high. Hey I made it. I'm the world's greatest. I'm that little bit of hope when my back's against the ropes. I can feel it. I'm the world's greatest!"

R.Kelly

Mountain

They say that if the Swiss had designed these mountains they'd be rather flatter .

Paul Theroux

Years

"Now for ten years we've been on our own and moss grown fat out of Rollin' Stone, but that's not how it used to be. When the Jester sang for the King and Queen in a coat he borrowed from James Dean and a voice that came from you and me..."

American Pie
Don McLean

stone

Dripping water hollows out a stone ,
a ring is worn away by use .

Ovid

Have you even been in love? Horrible, isn't it? It makes
you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens
your heart and it means someone can get inside you
and mess you up. You build up all these defenses. You
build up this whole armor, for years, so nothing can
hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from
any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid
life...

You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it.
They do something dumb one day like kiss you, or
smile at you, and then your life isn't your own
anymore. Love takes hostages.
It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you
crying in the darkness, so a simple phrase like "maybe
we should just be friends" or "how very perceptive" turns
into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.

It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the
mind. It's a soul-hurt, a body-hurt, a real
gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.



Rose Walker, in Sandman: The Kindly Ones by NeilGaiman

Hate

I love the way you break my skin. I feel the hate you place inside. I need to get your voice out of my head cus' I'm the guy you'll never find. I think you know all of the rules. There's no expressions on your face. I hope that someday you'll let me go. Release me from my dirty cage.

-Puddle of Mud

Stone walls do not a prison make

Nor iron bars a cage.

Minds innocent and quiet take

That for a hermitage.


Richard Lovelace

I

I never had a dream come true.
Till the day that I found you.
Even though I pretend that I've moved on.
You'll always be my baby.
I never found the words to say.
You're the one I think about each day.
And I know no matter where life takes me to,
A part of me will always be with you.

I Never Had A Dream Come True

dream

Say nighty-night and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me you'll miss me
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me
