I Wrote A Book (update)

So, it’s happening! My book is becoming a reality. I’m actually going to see my book in print. Don’t get me wrong I still have a lot to do, images to select, edit and place, a few sections to thin down or bulk up but for the most part it is all coming together and …

Delete

Delete One after another and repeat I watched our Christmas disappear first Your birthday vanished soon after With every hit of the button, the knot in my stomach tightened Delete I opened the file, Paris Emotions torn from my mind Faded were your eyes the whole time Gone now though to a place I’ll never …

Lemons

It's raining in both our towns now though that's not the only thing connecting me to you. See, I left my mind on that stone studded beach and my heart blocked out the sound permanently  and that night you drove to me through the dark I had to feel my way around you as you …

Laughing Emoji

Some say the sound of true happiness is laughter. Lately I've been reminded what it feels like to really laugh, you know that type of laughter that hurts your stomach, makes you ache and creates red faces and swollen cheeks? Yeah, just like that.  New faces and places, embraces and spaces all negativity replaced. No …

Butterflies

He sliced open my gut and let them all escape. Flying from my open wound gone without a trace. All thats left, the wings of dust, the ones that didn't make it. Now when I kiss his waiting lips, all I can do is fake it.
