Everything’s out in the Open

The trouble with telling a lie is that they are high maintenance You may think it’s buried but eventually you have to cultivate To the point where it goes and becomes harder to high So then you explain it away Using your body to hide it The cracks began to show in the foundation Things start to add...

Guns n' Roses

The doors of the chapel open up White doves fly out Inundated with emotions As the ten men surround the casket Hoist it in the air And began to walk The way funerals make you feel As if you are walking to your own death And really it is Part of you is going in that grave with your loved one The last...

Years

We wake up Exchange terms of endearment Brush our teeth together You splash water on me And tell me what spots I missed while shaving To say that we’re in love doesn’t begin to describe what we have We’ve joined to create a family Watched our kids grow and have their own children The years have been...
