Curtis, this whole exchange, and the concerted attempt to keep you in it and continually replying, never to escape, reminds me of an interesting song by Sarah McLachlan. There is an interesting story behind it. She wrote it to exorcise a guy who had been stalking her, somewhat dangerously. He kept writing her letters, sending her things, and telling her details of a love life between the two of them that he only imagined existed. He imag- ined that her song lyrics were written directly to him, and gave him "secret messages" that she returned his affections. When she ignored him, he persisted. When she told him to get lost, he turned nasty, and started to send her rape fantasies instead of roses. and she had to call in the police. After they steered the sick fuck to the enforced psychiatric help he'd needed for some time, Sarah wrote this song to get the bad taste of it all out of her mind. Many of the lyrics are directly from the stalker's letters. The song became one of her biggest hits. Living well is the best revenge. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucdnm8iU-5c&ob=av2e Listen as the wind blows >From across the great divide Voices trapped in yearning Memories trapped in time The night is my companion And solitude my guide Would I spend forever here And not be satisfied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Through this world I've stumbled So many times betrayed Trying to find an honest word To find the truth enslaved Oh you speak to me in riddles and You speak to me in rhymes My body aches to breathe your breath You words keep me alive And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear Into this night I wander It's morning that I dread Another day of knowing of The path I fear to tread Oh into the sea of waking dreams I follow without pride Nothing stands between us here And I won't be denied And I would be the one To hold you down Kiss you so hard I'll take your breath away And after I'd wipe away the tears Just close your eyes dear
