i'll build you a fort on some planet where they can all understand it -> i hate it here so i will escape to lunar valleys in my mind, when they found a better planet only the gentle survived
And so I enter into evidence
My tarnished coat of arms
My muses, acquired like bruises
My talismans and charms
The tick, tick, tick of love bombs
My veins of pitch black ink
All's fair in love and poetry...
Sincerely, The Chairman of the Tortured Poets Department
