It would be dreadfully ironic, I mused, if once I earned a soul, I forgot everything about being fey, including all my memories of her.

Broke your jaw once before Spilt your blood upon the floor You broke my leg in return So let's sit back and watch the bed burn Well love sticks sweat drips Break the lock if it don't fit A kick in the teeth is good for some A kiss with a fist is better than none ↗

I have never been able to discover anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient - in America. ↗
