Oops, I Did It Again

Smile to myself tonight Sitting in darkness Playing with the fire on the candle That reminds me of how much getting too close can hurt. Listening to stories of people How angry I've made them Over the past few months Just being the person I am. I have no tears tonight No sense of regret...

What He Took

At first he captured my attention Then grabbed every piece of my soul. Had it not been for the rest of the show My heart he would have stole. What he took of the rest of me I cannot tell you in this rhyme. Just know he isn't around to speak He didn't have the...

Solitude

Solitude left me aching for noise Until the noise became something I hated Then running seemed the only option For tools are always at the mercy of those that wield them. Crazy is the woman that dreams When she has nothing to dream of. Worse is the woman with hope When there is nothing to...

Off Course

We requested a second chance Not to redeem ourselves But because the first shot missed. Blue eyes peering up at him Made him think twice about it But nah, he didn't think so.

We Shared

There are tales of thorns running through bushes I'll never finish this note. Found strangers staring in aftermath I was just there to gloat. Strangely he put his hat on the shelf With no regard to what he had left. Felt strangely familiar to me in retrospect But then so did the endearing theft. We...
