The Blues
Go away blues, I’ve paid my dues, stay if you choose, but you will lose, cause I refuse to be your news.

These days
These Days I linger mostly somewhere between what I want, what I don’t want, and not knowing what I want. Confused by my tears, I am left exhausted and internally withdrawn from the pain I cannot seem to grab hold of, challenge and conquer. I swallow the rising storm, hoping no one sees the panic in...

The Last Time
It just happened without me knowing it, we ended, and now we’re over. I can’t remember our last kiss, the last time we held hands, or looked at each other as if we were friends. So kiss me one more time, so I will remember when the last time was.

"You are the brightest star in my sky." You grab your backpack, glance at me, almost smile but roll your eyes instead. "Be a leader today; reach beyond your potential." You pretend you don’t hear me, distracted by something other than my voice, but I notice as you sit up taller and hold your head a...

My Friend
I said after my home flooded, "You sure find out who your friends are." It was a mistake, however, to believe that people who show up to help you in a tragedy such as that, or such as the loss of your child, is truly an act of "real" friendship (not to say it isn't, but it doesn’t always indicate...
