You are more than a ray of sunshine
I, a leafless tree, you an evergreen
I tramp off the beaten path
in your forest,
You are the glimpse of the moon I seek
a shiny reflection on the water's skin,
you walk hand in hand with the stars.

I can pretend all I like.
The most romantic thing I can say to you is,
you're the one I want to have problems with.

-"How I Feel", Sean Hughes 1993

It's a feeble heart
that tries to whimper to you
and I find myself drunk
staring at the lost bodies
trying to cuddle up to a piece of you
a touch to bring about rest
excuses, excuses and I want to
punch myself hard about the face
to lose conciousness
wake up a different person

-"Shade", Sean Hughes
