Annabel Lee

It was many and many a year ago,
In a kingdom by the sea,
That a maiden there lived whom you may know
By the name of Annabel Lee;
And this maiden she lived with no other thought
Than to love and be loved by me.

I was a child and she was a child,
In this kingdom by the sea:
But we loved with a love that was more than love -
I and my Annabel Lee;
With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven
Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that, long ago,
In this kingdom by the sea,
A wind blew out of a cloud, chilling
My beautiful Annabel Lee;
So that her high-born kinsmen came
And bore her away from me,
To shut her up in a sepulchre
In this kingdom by the sea.

The angels, not half so happy in heaven,
Went envying her and me -
Yes! that was the reason (as all men know,
In this kingdom by the sea)
That the wind came out of the cloud one night,
Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love
Of those who were older than we -
Of many far wiser than we -
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;

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And the stars never rise but I feel the bright eyes
Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;
And so, all the night-tide, I lie down by the side
Of my darling -my darling -my life and my bride,
In the sepulchre there by the sea -
In her tomb by the sounding sea.

_Edgar Allan Poe

Unfinished Sympathy _Massive Attack, Collected

I know that I’ve been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more

The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me baby, really cut me baby
How can you have a day without a night
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more

Like a soul without a mind
In a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
[x5]

We live & We learn

As my bf & I go through a rough patch, I discovered that a lot of my friends are going through one too. A little birdie even suggested it might be something related to the moon’s phases.

I guess that when we know not what we can rely in we get all superstitious and stuff. So today, as I took a cab to my clients office, I listenned to the horoscopes. Apparently, Leos need to feel confident in themselves and Cancers need to hang in there. Virgos should keep their heads up….

All in all, I think it is a time to contenplate on our good and our bad to try to come out stronger. Though I feel a bit sad and overwhelmed these days, I guess it’s a part of life.

In moments like these, I used to like talking to my bf… Now he’s doing a bit of soulsearching and so am I. So I guess I am turning to my mom and a few friends. Who do you turn to when things get tough?
