You want to know the real reason why sleeping with your friends is a very bad idea? I learned that lesson the hard way back four years ago when I hooked up with Billy. We started out as friends back in high school until we lost contact with one another. With the advent of social networking sites MySpace and Facebook, it was really easy for us to find each other. I really enjoyed talking to him during a time of turmoil for...

She did this every year, so the call came as no surprise. In fact, I had been expecting it for the last few days. The only surprise was that it took so long. I was sitting with my wife having our coffee after dinner when the phone rang. As I got up to answer, my wife gave me a knowing glance but did not say a word. It was as if we both knew instinctively. “Hello.” I started into the phone, “Oh, hi Mom. Yeah, I’d been expe...

Don’t tell me that you need me, And I’m the best you’ve found, Because if you really needed me, You at least would come around. Don’t talk to me on the phone, Saying words I want to hear, And giving me more excuses, Why you can’t be with me here. Don’t tell me that you love me, And how much you really care, But when I really need you, I can’t find you anywhere. Actions speak louder than words, And for all your fancy talk,...

You probably were a bully, Who never did well in school, Stole other kid’s lunch money, And thought it was really cool. And now you’ve moved on, To stealing other’s work and time, All without a hint of remorse, As if it’s not even a real crime. I’d like to think people like you, Deserve a special place in Hell, For when you steal an author’s work, You steal a piece of them as well. So now I’m going to dare you, To try and...

I returned to Paris as in days gone by, Now that I’m here, I’m not sure why, For the city that once felt like home, Is a joyless place when you’re alone. I can’t help but recall the older days, Of sipping wine in corner cafes, Romantic dinners by candle light, That lasted well into the night. The walks along the river Seine, Huddled together against the rain, Hand in hand we’d stroll the street, Stealing kisses, so discre...

An honest man who worked real hard, And did his best throughout his life, To clothe and feed his proud family, His four children and his wife. Born in the early twentieth century, He knew that times were often tough, But he always did whatever it took, To ensure his family had enough. A gentle man who spoke with kindness, And ungraciousness was never heard, Who still believed in God and family, And knew the value of a man...

Is happiness something far out of reach? Something for which we must strive. Like some far off destination, Where we hope someday to arrive. Or is happiness just a commodity? Something that can be bought, Or is happiness something we all can learn? Something that must be taught. Is our happiness in short supply? That may someday come to an end, Or is there enough to go around? That we can share it with a friend. There are...

I’d heard about social networking,And how it was the next big thing,So I just had to take a look,And ended up on Facebook.It only took me a little while,To fill out most of my profile,But I have spent many a night,Figuring out the rest of the site.I never realized I had so many friends,The friend requests never end,All the people I can’t stand at work,And now the biggest high school jerk.I have to admit I’ve learned a bun...

My job I really don’t mind, It’s the people and the work, Especially the guy next to me, Who personifies the word “jerk.” I wish he would do something, Anything to earn his pay, Instead he just gets on my nerves, And my nerves are starting to fray. This jerk is looking for a better job, And keeps asking me for advice, Do I look like a Google search bar? But instead I just try to be nice. He actually asked me for a referra...

When friends betray friends,With words less than kind, It tears apart the friendship, And all the ties that bind. When friends betray friends, It hurts you to the core. All the trust and love, It all goes out the door. Like an ice cold sword, That tears through your heart, When friends betray friends, It will tear your soul apart. All the love and friendship, Built up from the ground, When friends betray friends, It all c...

My love did sometimes wander,And my thoughts did often roam,From the one who held them dear,And gave my love a home.But I was young and restless,And my heart would long to play,Never thinking of the one I’d hurt,When my love would go astray.They say if you play with fire,You sometimes will get burned,And though the lessons were often hard,The lessons did get learned.For I know my heart belongs right here,With the one whos...

Of all the things we celebrate,There is one very special date,That special day when vows were said,Our special day when we were wed.Of you my love, I was so fond,To want to start a lasting bond,It was a sunny Saturday in May,That day we call our special day.I still recall your walk up the aisle,As you gave to me a secret smile,I could not help but feel so proud,The luckiest man in the crowd.As I stood and held your hand,I...

I sit at my computer desk trying to think,I pick up my coffee and start to drink,I've been up all day and into the night,Wracking my brain for something to write.Just sitting around all day at home,Hoping to write the next great tome,But my progress has been terribly slow,The words simply don't want to flow.I realize to reap the glory and wealth,My novel is not going to write itself,It's my own project, I understand,Thoug...

You're going through a lot right now,This truly is an ordeal,I can't begin to imagine your pain,Or how you really feel.I know how important your body is,And you're as beautiful as can be,And no matter what the future brings,You'll always be beautiful to me.I wish I could take away your pain,And make your body new,But I can only be there for you,To show my love for you.10-07-10.

Don't think I don't notice when you look my way,Just standing there, like you got something to say,Like a girl who's looking for someone new,Like a girl looking for something to do,And I heard the word that's going around town,That your last lover been putting you down,But, if you get with me it won't be long,Because I ain't gonna let you lead me along. Your heart's been broken and you're on the make,Heart's broken and yo...
