The hardest thing to do in the world is care.<br /> <br /> A NOTE: I was recently checking over my stuff and realized I&#039;ve been proclaimed an &quot;avid fan of Twilight&quot; in one of my stories, &quot;Below&quot;.<br /> Basically, my friend put it in. &quot;Friend&quot;. I love her though.

If I was to
Give you one
A thing of death, a thing of love
A thing of favor
A thing
of Wanting
You say you
Didn't
But disbelief is the scorn
Of man
And I am man
And belief my meal
You ask for one
You want for one
But the want that comes
Comes pouring down
Buries you
Drowns you
I pull you
Give you favor
Protection
Love
But no
This is how I am repaid
Do you see now,
Do you see
How the wanting comes,
How the wanting comes in...
