stitches and burns

Stitches and Burns by Fra Lippo Lippi

People say that I’m a fool
Well I don’t know
At least I found out What it takes to be strong
I was dreaming all day long
A drifting cloud
With eyes wide open
I would choose not to see

Now I don’t want
To see you any more
Don?t want to be the one
To play your game
Not even if you smile
Your sweetest smile
Not even if you beg me
Darling please.

Say good morning to the world
I hope you like it
Take good care of all those
Things that we had
I?ve been looking for a way
For too long now
Seems like everything
Must come to an end.

Time after time
Nothing that I can do
Knowing your ways and loving your ways
But not getting through at all
Day after day
Leaving the past behind
Coming to terms with stitches and burns learning to fly again

some love letter…

Dear Fool,

I saw you yesterday as you began your daily chores. You awoke without
kneeling to pray. As a matter of fact, you didn’t even bless your meals or
pray before going to bed last night. You are so unthankful. I like that
about you!

I cannot tell you how glad I am that you have not changed your way of
living. Fool, you are mine. Remember, you and I have been going steady for
years, and I still don’t love you yet. As a matter of fact, I hate you,
because I hate God. I am only using you to get even with God.

He kicked me out of heaven and I’m going to use you as long as possible to
pay Him back. You see, Fool, GOD LOVES YOU and HE has great plans in store
for you. But you have yielded your life to me and I’m going to make your
life a living hell. That way we’ll be together twice. This will really
hurt God, thanks to you. I’m really showing Him who’s boss in your life.
With all of the good times we’ve had…We have been watching dirty movies,
cursing people out, partying, stealing, lying, being hypocritical,
fornicating, overeating, telling dirty jokes, gossiping, back-stabbing
people, disrespecting old people and those in leadership positions. NO
respect for the church, bad attitudes…

Surely, you don’t want to give all of this up. Come on, Fool, let’s burn
together forever. I’ve got some hot plans for us. This is just a letter of
appreciation from me to you. I’d like to say “THANKS” for letting me use
you for most of your foolish life.

You are so gullible, I laugh at you. When you are tempted to sin, you give
in. HA, HA, HA! You make me sick. Sin is beginning to take its toll on
your life. You look 20 yrs. older. I need new blood, so go head and teach
some children how to sin. All you have to do is smoke, over indulge in
alcoholic beverages, drugs, lie, cheat , gamble, gossip, fornicate, be
prideful (remember that’s why God kicked me out of heaven). Do all of this
in the presence of children and they will do it, too. Kids are like that.

Well, Fool, I have to let you go for now. I’ll be back in a couple of
seconds to tempt you again. If you were smart, you would run somewhere,
confess your sins, live for God with what little bit of life that you have
left. It’s not my nature to warn anyone, but to be your age and still
sinning, it’s becoming a bit ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong, I still hate
you…It’s just that you’d make a better fool for Christ.

Your partner in crime,
SATAN

PS – And if you really love me, you won’t share this letter with anyone!
