and tearing me apart,
You're a scavenger, baby,
overhead with your eyes honed,
peeling layers of my flesh,
until I'm bare to...

Serial Keeler
Foreboding of a tempestuous storm,
it blackens as it draws near,
a cumulonimbus in towering form,
extending to the troposphere,
So cast off mooring and slacken the line,
break free while there's still time,
'cause...

neither wanted to give up the costumeThey fell in love at a Star Wars Convention
When the marriage fell apart,
I thought they would stop dressing like 3-CPO
Neither wanted to give up the costume

To stop loving you
I cried, I cried
For being too crazy about you.
You never loved me
You take me for granted

Yet, my love for you
Was unconditional
And...

Missin kissin I'm No Spring Chicken I'm All Out Of LuckWhoever invented the Kiss
I'd like to shake their hand
But I won't
Because I'm shortsighted and always miss

But the boss
My Mrs doesn't like it
And slaps me...

We were floating aloft, hearts very free
The force we shared was magnetic
Drawing us closer like molecules in a compound
We defied the laws of motion
Embarking on a whirlwind of innovation.

Unlikely Mike, for Michael JacksonUnlikely Mike
by Michael R. Burch
I married someone else’s fantasy;
she admired me despite my mutilations.
