"I'm fine with it." And every time she leaves him now, she thinks she'll be found out. He'll find her out. And so she lets him in, like she never left him, let's her fear win. And so she s...
- Poetry > Free VerseDon't tell me what I should do, You're not me, you're you We're standing at different ends of an issue, Debating whether or not I really miss you We're setting ourselves up like a stage, Where you'll fight for my love in a dying age But you're fighting for a ...
- Poetry > Free VerseEat your words, raw, Chew on your thoughts, Spit them out collected. Instincts taste sweet on your tongue, But they'll turn bitter while young, Choke on your words before they're said....
- Poetry > Song LyricsThere are those days, I count my prayers. And whenever I feel like no one cares, you're there to assure me it's true. Your hand holds tight to a cool glass of wine, lips hold true to a fine line, how could I ever rely on you? You try to pretend that you're my only anchor, but ...
- Poetry > Song LyricsOh the times are changing, and maybe a sinner can't be saint, but who says that all of my mistakes, have to hold me back. These glances that we're exchanging, maybe they mean something more, than just a smile filled with warmth, what if you're everything I lack? What if ther...
- Poetry > Song LyricsShe says I want to climb to the top of the mountain, to see the view. He says we can see it fine from right here, what's gotten into you? She says I want to go to Vegas, and gamble away half my paycheck. He says why waste the money? We could use it to pay half our rent. She says you got...
- Poetry > Song LyricsI was drunk, a little high, I saw stars, in the sky. Your head was as clear as the night. At a disadvantage, a little heavy handed, you shoved another glass into my hand. Downed it, no I never stood a chance. Got a little too messed up, amongst so called "friends." That'...
- Poetry > Song LyricsI can't find the balance that I need, To move forward at a constant speed So I'll sit here till I can stand, I won't move until you take my hand So let's hold on and never let go, Let's move on and let's never slow...
- Poetry > Song LyricsHe's married to his career. He's got no time to call you, dear, and she still thinks she stands a chance. Another bad day at work, he screams till his voice goes hoarse, and she pretends to understand. But he doesn't want to hear it, even though she really cares. She's al...
- Poetry > Free VerseTake one down Pass it around 99 bottles of beer on the wall Take one down Pass up the next round Shouldn't have drank them all Take one down Pass out on the ground Forget how hard they fall Take one look The steps mistook That led you here Take one glance You had your chance Put...
- Poetry > Song LyricsYou don't know how far you've gone, until you've gone too far. You don't know how to end, so you try to re-start. You're so overwhelmed. You keep making mistakes. You lose confidence, don't think you have what it takes. But it takes a little more faith. It tak...
- Poetry > Free VerseI can't stand to see you in pain To watch day by day As you try so hard What can I do? Is there any way I can help you Or must I simply stand by your side And hold your hand Never able to ease the pain...
- Poetry > Free VerseTears floating along gently Being swept off sad faces Carried by the breeze They swirl up into a cloud And then are released Onto hundreds of sad places...
- Poetry > Free VerseWhy must all things come to an end...eventually? I miss lying on the soft grass Under a dark moonlit night Watching the stars Wink and fall from the sky I enjoyed the time that we had But why do the memories we made Still fill me with regret Up to this very day?...
- Poetry > All PoetryThis long drawn out length of time, Is having its soporific effect on me, I'll just lie down for a minute, And soon I'm fast asleep. Each diminutive grain of sand, Takes a dive in that hourglass. Time is so pivotal, Isn't there a way to make it last? In forty winks I'...
- Poetry > Free VerseEtchings on your palm, As I scribbled out my number, Day was routinely long, As I anticipated your call. A soft ringing, My hands tinged, With nervousness, As I pick up the phone... Crestfallen, You were not on the other line, Yet it was a friend of yours and of mine, Scarcely able to...
- Poetry > Song LyricsCan't sleep Can't dream It's already hard enough As it seems I don't need You haunting me In my sleep So I lie awake And all the thoughts I pushed away All day Return to me Keeping the nightmares at bay But I'd rather have the bad dreams 'Cause at least...
- Poetry > Song LyricsI've seen the skeletons Hiding in your closet, More than just bones And detailed composites, I've heard the lies you tell, They're neither little nor white, I've witnessed the hands you deal, Two kings but no white knight, I don't know what your conscience tells you at night, Or what the vo...
