			<title>To Me</title>
			<description>To me, you were the moonlight in December,&amp;nbsp;The&amp;nbsp;constellations&amp;nbsp;in the month of June,You were the waves of the&amp;nbsp;Caribbean&amp;nbsp;And the winds in my sales at noon.You came to me, a broken monument,And as your porcelain chipped I saw your colors...I've seen your darkness and your light..</description>

			<title>Addict</title>
			<description>Hi, I'm Sparks and I'm an addict.I'm not entirely sure what I'm addicted to, but I'm certainly an addict.I think I'm addicted to many things at once, and with each heartbeat,I feel myself getting deeper and deeper in the hole.Maybe I'm addicted to the tone of his voice,Or the optimism stuck in his t..</description>

			<title>Good-Riddance</title>
			<description>For you who left me when I needed you most,Did life take you in a better direction?Do you find yourself laughing more,And not thinking back to the sound of my voice?For you who cast me aside like the trash that you have,Do you feel better now with me out of your life?Is your existence all that you'd..</description>

			<title>Tragedy</title>
			<description>Worthless and pointless seem to be the thoughts you have of me,For in your ignorance you broke my soul again...And blood seeps&amp;nbsp;through&amp;nbsp;my woundsInto my clothes, again.&quot;Wrap it up&quot; your voice says inside my mind,But all I want to do is watch it pour...Until it covers me, until I cannot see ..</description>

			<title>Delusional</title>
			<description>My muse has smiled upon meAnd my fate was sealed...The angels wrote &quot;a poet&quot; upon my ivory wings ,The speed of light is matched in thought and penAnd at the speed of thought, I'm brilliant.They say I'm good with words but they don't knowHow skilled I am in thought and under crimson lightI shine like..</description>

			<title>Godless</title>
			<description>Call me a heathen, a creation of humankind,And allow me to cater to the&amp;nbsp;multitude&amp;nbsp;of pantheonsFor I am godless, faithless, and cannot be trusted.Thrust me into a society that rejects the very concept of friendship,A place in which no one trusts another,Remember, I'm a godless,&amp;nbsp;hedonis..</description>

			<title>Nothing on Us</title>
			<description>There are many love affairs, both tragic and impressive,There were many broken hearts and many youths were restless...There was beauty in their love, and tragedy within their soulsBut baby, no one had to know about them.Take Romeo and Juliet, the secret star-crossed lovers,The universe was set again..</description>

She glanced at her watch as she took it off: Half past midnight. He'd be home soon. She walked over to his full-length mirror and looked at herself. She wan't ..</description>
