Thrift Shop People. As Is, No Refunds

Thrift Shop People. As Is, No Refunds They say you don’t know what you have, until you’ve thrown it all away. When what you’ve cherished most of all, is simply, gone. You can’t understand the value of a moment’s memory, until every treasured thing you had, you’ve pawned. * Traded…

Her Pride Makes Me Proud

She said, you’ll always love me, right? No matter what, you’ve got my back? I said babe, you know there is nothing, to knock my love for you off track! Whatever you need to share with me, I will listen and not speak. You hold pieces of my heart and…

When Innocence Dies

There is no reason, or rhyme, the next breath — hard to find, broken, grasping our chests, with hard questions like, why? Too young to face such big fears, too old, when the days pass like years, fighting, with unsuspecting soldiers, far from the front lines. How can this be…

Crazy

Crazy Yeah, I know you said again, that I’ve got problems. I’m not good at hiding how I feel these days. I can’t control how fast it’s coming at me, emotions crashing over me just like the waves. * The future weighing on my mind, of what will happen, the…
