  • HER DOWNWARD SPIRAL (Possible Trigger Warning)

    Her Downward Spiral Have you ever stopped to wonder That it’s not just your heart that’s broke Your choices are much louder  Than the words that you have spoke   Now you’re sinking deeper  With every line of coke you hit Shooting up your heroin Till both your mind and veins are split   You’ve started falling faster  Down into that… Read more

  • I WILL RISE

    I Will Rise  The silence feels heavier than diamond or stone, A sad, hollow echo where love had once shone.

For sorrow, though it… Read more

  • A LOVE WORTH WRITING ABOUT

    A Love Worth Writing About I don’t want to be someone’s short story,  in a tale they tell to all their friends.

  • THE STILLNESS OF YOU

    THE STILLNESS OF YOU   You are my anchor. You keep me from drifting. Our bond is so strong. Your mere presence, uplifting.   The stillest of waters, Can run dangerously deep.

  • RELEASE

    RELEASE   I feel the breeze comb through my hair. The water cleanses my despair. The sand squishes between my toes, As I watch which way the ocean flows.   The birds drop low to the water’s edge.

    November Skies   The tears I cannot seem to dry. As I stand beneath November’s sky. You left and you’re not coming back. How long’s it been? I’ve lost track.   I think you’re watching from above. For what we shared was timeless love. But I cannot seem to let you go. And the pain… Read more

  • BENEATH THE SKIES

    Beneath The Skies When shadows fall and doubts arise, And dreams seem lost beneath the skies, There burns a flame, though small and shy, A spark of strength that will not die.   Through weary roads and heavy rain, We walk with hearts that bear the strain. But every step, though slow or steep, Is… Read more
