In fact, it seems to me that most contemporary insults are pretty lame. Even &#039;lame&#039; is kind of lame. Saying &#039;You&#039;re lame&#039; is like saying &#039;You walk with a limp.&#039; Yeah, whatever, so does 50 Cent, and he&#039;s done all right for himself.&quot;<br /> -- John Green

If I must lose
Let me not lose this silver voice
Echoing among the starry silence
If I must lose
Let me keep this castle
Built on moonlit meadows
And loving promises whispered into darkness
If I must lose
Let me hold on to these memories
Recounted onto scraps of paper, lost in chaos and
Treaded on by the relentless feet of the city
If I must lose
Don't take away nights like this
Listening to heartbeats in wordless conversation
Trusting completely in heart and sunrise.
If I must lose
Take my body
But spare my heart
For I could not bear to see him lonely.
