Lying Flies - Apologies to the Eagles
Country boys just seem to find out early
Bugs fly through open doors once in a while
Another fly that sets his mind to worry
I must kill that thing with swiftness and with guile
About midday, a big old house gets lonely
But a fly for company has its price
It drives him crazy, and he has one mind

Where do all the apologies go
Where do all the apologies go
The ones unheard, unspoken of
Do they haunt the houses they can't move on from
Do they move through the walls
Waiting for the calls
Of the broken ones
Or do they accept they are forever trapped behind these doors
Waiting to be revealed
Waiting to be accepted
Wanting to restore
A love that had been

Apologies
Apologies
If I say I'm sorry
I will get my way
Your thinking to sway
Apology to look good
Narcissism under the hood
For me everyone will root
Apology to provoke guilt
Creates self-doubt to the hilt
Blame to you will shift
Apologies made from half truth
My own feelings to soothe
Everyone thinks I stand on truth
Apologies to put it in the past
Knowing fake peace won't

All apologies
I lied, never told you the truth—
I never loved you,
my beloved Ruth.
Forgive me, if it's possible,
for the things I did impossible.
Cold blood, so bold,
seeping through my veins.
If I could hold
you, and ease your pains.
Though I'm not sane,
and sound mostly insane,
I can be the wisest—
to hold you the tightest.
I can't

Everybody has a cloud.
and if you'll permit,
on mine, you are not allowed.
Please get off of it.

No more Apologies
Darkness travels inside my blood clot
thinks he is above me can't get to me not so easy
body pains, kneecap cramps side neck cracks, pill by pill can't heal.
Too many now I've started with just one I shouldn't have done.
But past eats on me like a cancer piece by piece I fall apart
it's never been easy,

My apologies
My apologies for making something so small into something so big
My apologies for hurting your ego because I don’t know how to deal with my own emotions
My apologies
I love you so much
You can push my buttons on cue
What else can I do?
I overreact and I push your buttons
I don’t want to

Portrait Of A Lovelorn Person
An abstract dull spirit, amorphous and loose,
Cloudy and irate, possessing the even soul,
Haunts the frail mind and body on the whole
Of the one who fervently chases a wild goose
Firmly believing the strange enigmatic world
Of fancy to be real and divine, demanding all
Venturesome feats such as a sacrificing fall,
And even the human nature

MY GPS; with apologies to Robert Frost
Some have Siri,
others have Alexa;
but my GPS
I call it Robert;
for it seems to always
take the road less travelled by.
I see the highway on its little screen;
while I meander
down some potholed lane
that somehow seemed to
have the better claim on Robert.
I swear I typed in ‘fastest.’
but Robert is pre-programmed,
so it appears,
to always take me via ‘scenic,’
perhaps he’s

"Apologies"
Apologies don't fit here anymore,
This is why?
You must remove oneself from my door.
Apologies has become:
your main game of life strategies.

Young Again
Verse 1: I was dumb and foolish
I did not love myself that much compared to today
I know why I made the wrong choices
In my mind, I should move on
But it was not like PTSD
I wish I had more training in ethics
I am sorry
I am still sorry
Pre-chorus: All I want to do is to

One million apologies later
When we first met,
you adored me,
from sunrise to sunset.
We would stay up all night,
infatuated like lovebirds
and I'm still wondering.... What went wrong.
When did you run out of things to say?
Over one million apologies later,
I'm still sorry.
I still remember your last goodbye,
How I begged you not to go.
I still don't know why you had to leave.
I'm

The Duckling - Apologies to Edgar Allan Poe
Warning - Don't read The Raven and Watch Hitchcock on the same night.
Once before my bedtime, nearing, which I dreaded, fazed and fearing,
Stories mother would read me before she closed and locked my bedroom door —
While I washed up in the water, could mom have drawn it any
