“Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;
plug up my ears, and I can still hear;
even without feet I can walk toward you,
and without mouth I can still implore.
Break off my arms, and I will hold you
with my heart as if it were a hand;
strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;
and should you set fire to my brain,
I still can carry you with my blood.”

“I knew better than to let you break my heart
The soul you'll never see again won't be showing scars
You still love her I can see it in your eyes
The truth is all that I can hear every time you lie.”

“I could drink a case of you, darlin'… and I would still be on my feet, yes I would still be on my feet…”

“Oh, you're in my blood like holy wine,
You taste so bitter and so sweet
Oh I could drink a case of you, darling
And I would still be on my feet
I would still be on my feet.”

“I will still be in some part the Jem you knew, and I will see you with the eyes of my heart.”

“I still love you. And sometimes, my friend, the love that I have, and can't give to you, crushes the breath from my chest. Sometimes, even now, my heart is drowning in a sorrow that has no stars without you, and no laughter, and no sleep.”

“Not for one second
will my self hold still, but wanders
anywhere,
everywhere it can turn. Not you,
it is I am absent.”

“Can I still smoke my cigarettes and have my coffee”

“Don't look at me any more! If you want, I can give you my eyes — which are still fresh — and my back so you can fix that hump of yours.”

“Sometimes I get this crazy dream
And I just take off in my car
But you can travel on ten thousand miles
And still stay where you are.”
