It's not a crime to be alone. You barely survived the turbulence that mimicked a pair of pretty blue eyes. That turned into blanks of abuse. You thought he was "the one", until "it" finally came out of the truth. It's ok to sit at the singles table. Read a book on a Friday night. ..or take a solo hike. I see...

God fills the blanks of unvoiced fear, since each tremor to Him is known and in His womb the thoughts we’ve sown borne by ego, in time appear, which if we allow God to steer, there’s nothing we then call our own ~ God fills the blanks.

I died last night All my worldly goods are gone That ring you gave me, it lies in the early spring My heart with it's last beat was for you Recall the good times and diminish the bad Look to the sun but also find me in the shadows Only keep a few of my things for the sentiment Those little worthless things Maybe remember...

I'll never get her pregnant, that is how it appears. It's frustrating and it's getting to be more than I can stand. My wife says that because...

SHOOTING BLANKS I’m shooting blanks into the day, when I can’t have my way, and talking to myself, Of pain, of bitter truth, and lies. I cry, And leave a stain, a heart in pain – yes, both. Then love grabs hands, “can’t we just get along?” My knees drop low, to beg, forgive - he laughs! Tis all a joke! ...

Just In time corpse shine twilight sun had tainted my inner vision Twisted Shooting blanks at the rooster just supose another number feeling somber Doesn't any wonder?

Frantic in Autumn looking brightly colored orange In pivotal choices sense of remoseful inclusion In...
