&quot;And neither the angels in heaven above,Nor the demons down under the sea,Can ever dissever my soul from the soul of the beautiful Annabel Lee<br /> ...Of my darling-my darling-my life and my bride.In the sepulchre there by the sea.&quot;<br /> <br /> -Edgar Allen Poe

Favorites, Favorites
Its like a game
You love to play.
Where the rules are to
Love and smother one
And ignore and hurt the other.
She draws a stick figure
I draw a person
She gets a C
I get an A
She's yours
And you claimed I was too.
Then why,
O why,
Do you play that game of Favorites?
Favorites, Favorites,
You win,
I give up
I can now see that I can never beat her.
For this is your favorite game to play,
And your rules are to love one
And hurt the other.
