    Charles Bukowski
    “and when love came to us twice
    and lied to us twice
    we decided to never love again
    that was fair
    fair to us
    and fair to love itself.

    we ask for no mercy or no
    miracles;
    we are strong enough to live
    and to die and to
    kill flies,

    attend the boxing matches, go to the racetrack,
    live on luck and skill,
    get alone, get alone often,
    and if you can't sleep alone
    be careful of the words you speak in your sleep;
    and
    ask for no mercy
    no miracles;

    and don't forget:
    time is meant to be wasted,
    love fails
    and death is useless.”
    Charles Bukowski, What Matters Most is How Well You Walk Through the Fire
