More From Alanis Morissette

Sometimes when i'm alone i cry, cause i am on my own. the tears i cry are bitter and warm. they flow with life but take no form i cry because my heart is torn. i find it difficult to carry on. if i had an ear to confide in, i would cry among my treasured friend, but who do you know that stops that long, to help another carry on. the world moves fast and it would rather pass by. then to stop and see what makes one cry, so painful and sad. and sometimes... i cry and no one cares about why.

In your eyes the light the heat in your eyes i am complete in your eyes i see the doorway to a thousand churches in your eyes the resolution of all the fruitless searches in your eyes i see the light and the heat in your eyes oh, i want to be that complete i want to touch the light, the heat i see in your eyes
Song Eye Light
Grief does not end and love does not die and nothing fills its graven place. with grace, pain is transmuted into the gold of wisdom and compassion and the lesser coin of muted sadness and resignation; but something leaden of it remains, to become the kernel arond which more pain accretes (a black pearl): one pain becomes every other pain ... unless one strips away, one by one, the layers of pain to get to the heart of the pain - and this causes more pain, pain so intense as to feel like evisceration.
Pain Grief Heart
He knew how to handle pain. you had to lie down with pain, not draw back away from it. you let yourself sort of move around the outside edge of pain like with cold water until you finally got up your nerve to take yourself in hand. then you took a deep breath and dove in and let yourself sink down it clear to the bottom. and after you had been down inside pain a while you found that like with cold water it was not nearly as cold as you had thought it was when your muscles were cringing themselves away from the outside edge of it as you moved around it trying to get up your nerve. he knew pain.
Pain Lying Moving
Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. this is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. but if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. we will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.
Spiritual Pain Journey
The sun is a huntress young, the sun is a red, red joy, the sun is an indian girl, of the tribe of the illinois. the sun is a smouldering fire, that creeps through the high gray plain, and leaves not a bush of cloud to blossom with flowers of rain. the sun is a wounded deer, that treads pale grass in the skies, shaking his golden horns, flashing his baleful eyes. the sun is an eagle old, there in the windless west. atop of the spirit-cliffs he builds him a crimson nest.

I always enjoy being full of fun, but i have my serious moments. some women go for the studious kind of guy, i certainly was not that. if a girl is looking for somebody different and maybe a little more exciting for themselves - someone more on the fun side, i would suggest that they look for a type like don rickles.
