		<description><![CDATA[The Unconventional Truth of End Life
Author: G.C.M. (aka RomanticTorment)

My tears have dried to dust
My heart has turned cold
All my hopes have been dashed,
and all my dreams too old.
I&#8217;ve no arms to hold me tight,
I&#8217;ve no lips to kiss tenderly goodnight.
I can barely recall the feel of Nature&#8217;s fire
I can barely recall the touch I so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In The End, Nothing Really Matters
Author: G.C.M. (aka Romantic Torment)
Written: 8-16-09
Revised: 8-25-09
In the end it doesn&#8217;t really matter;
everything done is undone.
So what&#8217;s it really matter in the end?
I&#8217;ve tried so hard,
but the effort goes on wasted.
The memories remain,
haunting me endlessly upon sleepless nights.
What am I left to hope for,
when everything has been raped from me?
Why [...]]]></description>

It wasn&#8217;t always within my rights&#8230;
At times I am outside myself, looking in, reflecting on the choices I have made. Specifically those that brought me to the point of where I am now. All this time wasted, discarded, or used abusively. Leaving me parched. Thirsty for more, and yet somehow I feel like I&#8217;m sufficating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let The World Burn
Author: G.C.M. (aka Romantic Torment)
Revised: 7/12/09
I&#8217;ve lived in fantasies.
I&#8217;ve lived in dreams.
I&#8217;ve lived in lies.
(I live in hell!)
I vicariously lived through video games,
along with movies and music too.
I even vicariously lived through you.
I built an image out of everything
that only amounts to nothing.
I envy the world of Hollywood without me,
and I&#8217;m disgusted [...]]]></description>

********************
The Difference Between A Woman And a Girl
Author: Unknown
Girls want to control the man in their life.
A woman knows that if he&#8217;s truly hers, he doesn&#8217;t need controlling.
Girls check you for not calling them.
A woman is too busy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ship Of Sorrow
Author: G.C.M. (aka Romantic Torment)
As I sit here pondering,
I wonder &#8217;bout the morrow.
Will there be sun,
or shall the dark days come now forever?
Inside my mental box,
do I sit here crying.
Cautious as a fox,
yet afraid of death and dying.
With not a soul to comfort my broken heart,
I begin to wonder where things fell apart.
Why [...]]]></description>

Author: G.C.M. (aka Romantic Torment)
The darkness rushes in,
taking me to another sin.
Feeling the emptiness that feels my soul,
where is my deathly home?
I sit and ponder my lack of Loves embracement,
missing the longing touch of Times endearments.
While shadows continue their dance around me,
I continue to live alone unseen.
No one to understand the hell I live,
