Taking Bethel 'cos it reminds me of brothel, and Jael 'cos it reminds me of prison

Took Tamar because it looks a bit too masculine. Also took Havilah cos I don't like the look of it and I dont know how to pronounce it.

Ruth, Rebecca, because they both sound too harsh to be girls names to me

To my sweet muse
Every time you rip my heart out
Every time you break it
I pick up the pen I hold in my hands
And write the most beautiful poems
But you know what
If it's alright by you
I'd rather be happy than a poet
