    <content type="html">another name.  another place.  another day.  another penned in strike-out through his pencilled in name.  my tears blur the page.  the pen slips and makes a dark mark across the paper.  i collapse atop the paper filled with those i could never have.  these tears drip onto my dry lips.  oh, the salty taste of defeat.  the bitter hatred floods me once again and i wonder why i ever let myself outside of it's boundaries in the first place.</content>

    <content type="html">i'm slipping in and out of lucidity lately.  nothing matters.  and desperate shades of gray take me under.  and i realize that life means nothing to me.  hope is dead and i have no regard for this world.  i'm better off dead and i've meant nothing to anyone.  the blades are darting dangerously close to my bruised wrists.  i fall to my weak knees onto the unholy ground below.  and i beg ... i scream ... i plead ... for relief from this.</content>

    <content type="html">i rattle these bars.  this cage doesn't budge.  and nothing seems to change in this place.  restless nights and exhausted mornings.  all resulting from the empty bed that mocks my pain menacingly.  just another brutal reminder that i'll be forever alone.  these chains dig into my flesh and i begin to wonder if  maybe they don't really exist and i've caused my own blood to flow.</content>

    <content type="html">look into these jaded eyes.  i fucking hate you.  i fucking hate all of you.  stay away.  i don't need any of you.  one step closer and i'll rape you of any and all beauty you think you possess.  when i teetered on the edge and screamed for your love, every single one of you ignored my desperation.  well you can have it all now.  you can have all of my fucking hate.  it's all yours.</content>

    <content type="html">a life dominated by loss.  a life consumed by regrets.  a life stained by despair.  i wish i could hold you captive in my arms, in my darkened heart and teach you what love is...even though i don't know myself.  i wish i could hold you in my weak grasp for days and teach and learn love.  if i could rip my heart out and pour my tainted blood before you to fill the voids, i would.  if i could rise above, i'd breathe for you.  complete me.</content>

    <content type="html">'a man is a god in ruin'.  bri, i don't think i could think of a quote other than this one that so consummately describes your desolate perfection.  except perhaps a slightly altered version of: 'a god is a &lt;i&gt;man&lt;/i&gt; in ruin'.  hell knows you've been ruined.  destroyed, used, and abused, as well.  and despite this, the world still pales in comparison to your brilliance, your insanity, your beauty.  the drunken and drugged facade that should've immediately warded me off acted instead as a warm security blanket for my own hidden, yet blatantly obvious insecurities.  sobreity brings forth the real you, though  --  pained and troubled, apathetic and open.  you are the embodiment of beauty and disgust all at once.  you summon me from your darkness into your web of lies.  and i refuse.  i refuse to be a part of your damage.  i'm sorry.  i'm so sorry it had to be this way, brian.</content>
