What I Would Give Of Myself

Barring anything earth-shattering happening, I think I'm going to take a break from posting this week. Instead I'm going to put up the lyrics from songs that get stuck in my head on any given day. They just pop in there unbidden. You never know what it's going to be. Feel free to shrink me on these. It'll sorta be like analyzing dreams or something. Let's all just hope that it's not one of those weeks where that fucking "Werewolves of London" song gets trapped in there and just keeps playing over and over and over again :)

"Caramel"

It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long for you.

It won't do
to stir a deep desire,
to fan a hidden fire
that can never burn true.

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;

But I don't know
how I would live with myself,
what I'd forgive of myself
if you don't go.

So goodbye,
sweet appetite,
no single bite
could satisfy...

I know your name,
I know your skin,
I know the way
these things begin;

But I don't know
what I would give of myself,
how I would live with myself
if you don't go.

It won't do
to dream of caramel,
to think of cinnamon
and long
for you.

-- Suzanne Vega

"My will shall shape the future. Whether I fail or succeed shall be no man's doing but my own. I am the force; I can clear any obstacle before me or I can be lost in the maze. My choice; my responsibility; win or lose, only I hold the key to my destiny." - Elaine Maxwell
