I see you naked in the
Bath
Cigarette stains on your
Hands
Wilted flowers in a vase
And I ask how you are

I see your lipstick on
Your glass
And I think you're drunk
And start to laugh
And I find your note the
Letters ran
And it said I loved you

Don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the
Drain

I watch you passed out for 
A while
I touch your face you
Start to smile
And on your note is my
Reply
I wished I loved you

Don't ask why

Sixteen candles down the
Drain

Sponge

Sponges are animals of the phylum Porifera ( /pɒˈrɪfərə/; meaning "pore bearer"). They are multicellular organisms which have bodies full of pores and channels allowing water to circulate through them, consisting of jelly-like mesohyl sandwiched between two thin layers of cells. Sponges have unspecialized cells that can transform into other types and which often migrate between the main cell layers and the mesohyl in the process. Sponges do not have nervous, digestive or circulatory systems. Instead, most rely on maintaining a constant water flow through their bodies to obtain food, oxygen and remove wastes. more »
