  • Tonight, tonight.

    Tonight, tonight.

    I do everything right.I reach for help when I need it. The decisions I make, harshly judged, based on information that is manipulated. I admitted my mistakes. I asked for forgiveness. There is no win, nor a loss. Those who shoved me down this path, did so without empathy, and wondered why I could not…

    Electric Dreams it Seems

    This was unfair of me.It was unfair of me to believe in you.It was unfair of me to surround you with my love.It was unfair of me to ask you to be mine.It was unfair of me to believe in your words.It was unfair of me to love you as much as I did.It was…

    Translation

    In one moment, we became two. From two vastly different places, different backgrounds,Yet, somehow, as if all to chance, love grew. That is how you knew it was real, the moment you lose it, A broken heart is all you can feel. A moment of crossed stars, A silent promise of heartbeat to heartbeat,Could have,…

    Take all that remains

    Maybe all I wanted to hear are those simple words that all too quickly disappeared.Maybe all I just needed was someone to hold me close.To hold my hand. To help me through this paralyzing fear. Just the one, to look me in the eyes and say “I’m Here.” To hear, and know, To feel and…

    Love, Love, Me

    When I’m alone, I think of the times we were together, those many days, and all those calming nights, they were some of the happiest times I’ve ever seen.. And then you pushed me away, you pushed me off a cliff. You got me hurtin’ so bad that I keep missin’, missin’ what I had.…

    Maybe I don’t know,            What this is all about? Maybe I don’t know,            How to get by without? Maybe I don’t know,            My real path or route? Maybe I don’t know,            Because all I do is roam? Maybe I don’t know,            Which way to move? Maybe I don’t know,           …

  • Today

    Today

    I do not feel the fright. I do not feel it’s time for flight. I do not seek from you a new light. I do not prepare for another fight. I do not look to be gifted a new sight. It was real for me. It was real for you to see. It was real…

  • Faster Stillness

    Faster Stillness

    When we come into life, it’s been said we scream “Giddy Up!” And go out screaming “Whoa!” In our youth, always saying “Let’s go.” In those later years, holding one’s hand saying “Please don’t let go.” A life lived in measures of zero to sixty, at the end praying more for infinity. So many moments…

    What do you say to taking a chance? What do you say to growing up? What do you say to loving again? What do you say to being alone? What do you say to finding a home? What do you say to give up on love? What do you say when your heart is broken?…
