As Seen On TV

Contrary
To reports of its beauty,
Infatuation is hell.
It goes like this:  I'm Angel
Or she's the Mother Confessor.
I'm bound to come apart if I chase her.

I know that Mulder did have his Scully,
But I know that life's not As Seen On TV.

Of people who say I need hope to go on,
I've had my fill.
Sometimes hope is the thing
That keeps us standing still.
