Walking by

[raven]

There's something about this song. It always makes me feel like crying. And I'm reading Ursula Le Guin's The Other Wind - the last book in the Earthsea sequence. I love it to death. The writing is such pretty, perfect prose that I'm swept away, and not by the plot but by the words.
Together, the song and the book will carry me away. I've had such an awful day, but that's why I love escapism. I'm not here at all.

Why do you leave these stories unfinished?
Why do you look when you've already found it?
What did I do that you can't seem to want me?
Why do we lie here and whisper goodbyes?
Where can I go where your pictures won't haunt me?
What makes it so easy for you to be walking by?

It's so cold. I'm shivering in here.
