Heart breakHeart break.
It’s not just a feeling, it mentally messes you up. Heartbreak is so strong, it’s like a pain in your chest that won’t go away, it’s like you can physically feel your heart splitting in two. I wish I didn’t know how it felt to have your heart broken but unfortunately I do so...

Ocean
I am a glass of water
he sees right through me
yet nothing to him is
crystal clear.
I thought he knew me
but all my depths are
shallow to him, I fear.
I drown
in my own feelings
gasping his name,
but he cannot hear
that it's him
I'm calling out for
all the same.
I ache from words
forced to stay unspoken
until the space between us
spans out of...

BRING ME HOME TO YOUListen to the song: songer.co/song/zno9jbgddbdsebdipbrqumf6
[Verse 1]
That mountaintop, a distant thought,
High feels so low when I’m alone,
If I had known the weight of regret,
I’d have never let you go.
[Verse 2]
I remember way back then,
Just you and me, no need to pretend,
We laid on the sand, chasing clouds,
Hearts unspoken, but so loud.
[Chorus]
Now I’m out on this raging...

Reversed SignsIsn't it ironic?
You sat on my right side when we first met
And you exited my life making a left turn down my street
It was my right hand that comforted you in the beginning
And it was my left hand that tore off something that was supposed to be permanent in the end
How the directions changed...

Philip Island Cowes in June 20252025.06.15
It was quite a while ago,
I came here and wrote,
"BB was not here" and "JJ is here
On Queen Birthday 10 Jun 2024".
These words were written on the sand
On the the shores of both sides of the pier.
As time passed on, JJ sat and watched
The waves washed up onto the words,
Slowly encroached, engulfed and wiped
Them...

Paint It BlackOn days like this,
I just want to Paint It Black,
Turn all the Rolling Stones into black holes.
I know You Can’t Always Get What You Want,
But I’m tired of Tumblin’ Dice trying to win.
I just want to be one of those Wild Horses,
That runs through the sunflower meadow on this Ruby Tuesday.
When I look to the...

Truth At HeartWhom am I in the endless plot of fate?
Your perfect perfection used as bait.
Whom am I to reject perfection’s grace,
Amidst my turmoil in karma’s embrace.
I sought not, yet there you stood,
A calm in my storm, I never understood.
You were the answer to my whispers unheard,
A soft light to which my shadow was led.
An eternity I...

AcceptanceI haven’t truly lived until now.
I have been locked away for so long
In a small room in a place that was never my home.
Home is where you feel safe.
My freedom without judgment is where I feel most safe, maybe that’s home.
That’s how I feel now.
Full throttle and no chain...

I Ruined UsI ruined what we had
With my mincing words misplaced,
Words that made you mad
With a feeling as though also disgraced.
I ruined what we were
With things in which we never concurred,
Things I was just unsure
Of whether it is my path that has occurred.
I ruined our bond
With feelings long suppressed,
Feelings as shallow as a pond,
In which I drowned...

Missing The Good ThingThe good thing is I am never going to be crying,
But the truth is there is still this deep heartaching longing
For that very something with that very someone I am missing....

Wishful Glimpses Through Timeworn WindshieldsI would
Wish you
The worst
But yours
Came true
First
Feels like
That red light
Gets longer every day
Though I can’t
Help but stare
At the place I last kissed you
Counting
The cars
In the driveway
Making note
Of the purple bike
Left in the grass
Picturing
The perfect happenstance
That you...

Behind the facadeI gave up on everything, I gave up on everyone.
I know this is a heaven, but I just don't think it was meant for me.
If you knew me you would judge me for all those mistakes
So like the rest of us I carry this smile on my face and act like everything is alright...

Gone GoldenGold on ancient atoll?
Gone be prospector's hope!
Gore, doth coat the brazen bull?
Golem, get the rope?
Best for those politest men?
Better think again.
Bone a-broken, dive in den?
Flicker on the fen...
Torn like life tormented?
Break upon, O wave.
How the gods lamented!
O shroud hung on the grave!
Yellow as a predator's eye?
Dun the desert doubt.
Riddles, rivers, thy reply?
Time will sort it...

My Desire is ClearerWhere the grass is turning brown in patches, I buried my memories.
I protect my heart from negativity because I deeply yearn for a kind of happiness, I’ve never truly experienced. I long to fall in love again, so I’ve chosen to bury my painful memories deep beneath the bare umbrella trees, making space for new...
