You give so easily
And I don't like to ask for things
So leave it to me to breathe in deep
And ask for something you can't give me
My outsides are cold
And my insides are warm
But whenever I try to let my insides out
My outsides end up closing in
I don't want to live that way
It's a hard and barren kind of safe
You live in the world of open
Can I come in?
My heart is warm and soft, like a newborn puppy
It's blind and helpless, it flops around
Looking for something safe to burrow into
Deep and strong and nurturing, safe to burrow into
I know these cat-lined eyes and sharpened hands
Look like they have something else in mind
But all I want is something safe to burrow into
Can I hide my tear-stained face and burrow into you?

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
