L<\/span>ike Odysseus lashed to the mast, like Hefner sacrificing himself on the altar of satyrdom, he was driven to the edge of madness not by her<\/span> — because she was only a woman — but by the continual thought of her.<\/p>\n

Even when he was with her he longed for her.<\/p>\n

Even as the hours got twisted in the sheets caught up between them he found himself scheming to get her back into a bed she hadn’t yet left.<\/p>\n

It was really a shame that he didn’t much like her.<\/p>\n

Certainly, he thought she was smart enough but vain and self-obsessed in a way that made her seem slow to understand anything that required a stretch of imagination or — more improbably still — a leap of empathy.<\/p>\n

But his thoughts collected around the idea of her like iron filings around the end of a magnet. And every time he shook them free they were drawn inexorably back to her… to the idea of her.<\/p>\n

\nStood Up to Your Love<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

ya said its hard to love you
\nand I useta find that true
\nbut now its impossible
\nno matter what I do (but)<\/p>\n

I stood up to your love
\nI stood up like a man
\nI gave and gave and gave
\nuntil I didn’t give a damn<\/p>\n

if this is the best love
\nya can shove into my face
\nmaybe you should save it
\ncause I seem ta lost the taste<\/p>\n

I used to see ya
\nin your fishnets and mini skirt
\nI just wanted to get to know ya
\nnot roll with you in the dirt<\/p>\n

but then thats your idea of love baby
\nno matter who gets hurt
\nyoure gonna do what youre wanna do
\nand youll get yours first<\/p>\n

well im here to tell ya
\nbest not count me truly yours
\ncause party of the second part
\ndone just ran around the world<\/p>\n

I don’t know how ya lost control
\nbut one day I just woke up
\none day I was a zombie
\na slave to this thing you call love<\/p>\n

the next day the fever broke
\nthe mirror was icy still
\nI looked for your reflection
\nas you sat on the window sill
\nFor the first time I saw your eyes
\nthe icey timeless calm
\nI knew I was almost lost
\nand my soul was almost gone<\/p>\n
