you must go now <br />i know how to suffer alone <br />i know how to cry <br />without any comfort <br /> <br />you must go now <br />do not learn this art <br />of genuflection <br /> <br />this masochism <br />of the painful arm <br />the nerves erupting <br />the mind exploding <br /> <br />again the heart <br />must be purified <br />this pain this pleasure <br />this measure<br /><br />RIC S.
