“I can explain,” he pleaded, though it came out more like, “I cah eshlaih,” with his mouth stretched around the barrel of my shotgun. I raised my eyebrows, dark rage bubbling inside. “Explain?!” I spat. “Oh, this ought to be good. Let me guess, you came round to balance the books, tripped on the rug, your clothes fell off, and you landed in my miraculously naked wife?” Bryce held up his hands and shook his head against th...
She doesn’t know how to save me, And I am so afraid, That my delusional iniquity, Has wages that can’t be paid. The wages of sin are death I’m told, But I fear that I won’t die, For my sin as I grow old, Is wrapping my truth around a lie. I said that I was faithful, When in truth I was not, I was faithful to myself, It was my wife that I forgot. Now it’s a dilemma, Surpassing all decent bounds, I stand here confessi...
In which I imagine these could be the lyrics of my first country and western song. Enjoy, please! There’s no kisses with the dishes anymore, No hugs when I am mopping up the floor, She has no feeling for me anymore down below, I feel married to my sister, don’t ya know. There’s no kisses with the dishes anymore, Quoth the Raven in the story ‘Nevermore’, There’s no flirting, so it is hurting my ego, There’s no teasin’...
Lifting the receiver she dials, waiting as each ring seems to take an eternity, then he answers. "He doesn't suspect a thing. I promise." "But he seems to look at me like he knows. I keep waiting for him to say something." "Don't lose control, he has no idea; I would bet my life on it." "If you're wrong, you already have. You know what he'll do. You've seen him in action." "Just stick with the plan. Do you remember?"...
If I'd known then what I know now, I'd never have stood beside and taken the vow; But hindsight is 20/20 and love is blind, the caring facade veiled secrets, well confined; You keenly pursued me, and turned on the charm, a well executed plan, meant to disarm; The sweet talk and flowers had the desired effect, they silenced my doubts and put them in check; It wasn't too long till I was wearing your ring, as I planned our...
Shy away from a temple this morning,I should have known better than to stay,to always breathe in someone else,resting against temperatures made up by another's skin.So I'll take this cure,dream you up in order to cool these fevers down,the mark's already been made,counted on and memorized.All I need now is a sign,a shudder or reluctant sigh,a graceful aching finally pierced,then my summer's said and done.Winter's already...
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...
