Come to me Come to me in my dreams, and then I'll finally see your face again! And thus the night will save me some Of the horrid despair I'd suffered from.

The Perfect Antidote As I look down in my hands It all becomes so clear, The pills I took, the acid drunk, The knife wounds through the year. What I felt, this empty pit, When I question the meaning of me... Nothing had made sense before, No answer validity. Are friends true friends if they forget To call when they said they... More..

Food & Drink > Cuisine & Food (Other) Vanishing food fads that didn't withstand the test of time: 3 of 5
