What can I do to make you stay?Don't leave me alone on this awful day;I fight back the tears as they start to flow;'cause no matter what, you're still going to go;Alone once again and no way to share;the pain of my loss, the load which I bear;Lord, hold m...

I Noticed the Hole Today
A cathartic muse of a lost family member.I noticed the hole today. It’s been there awhile; I just finally really saw it.It’s really deep! I dropped some rocks but never heard a sound, not even clatter off the sides.It’s pitch black; sort sucks up any light that tries to penetrate. Like a Black H...

Flaking To Dust

I want you to understand, that I don’t want to lose you, but I just can’t keep holding on to someone who doesn’t want to be held.I’ve given everything I’ve had to give. I’ve been patient and willing, Kind and giving.I’ve fought and I’ve forgiven. You have...
