With the plug I will be finding, She will need a swift reminding; I may likely go insane. Well, I’ve really got to fiddle; It’s somewhere in the middle Of...

Drop by painless drop Washed down the drain, Flowing to a stop Free from my brain Hysteria and torment With regret to follow, Make their descent Amongst fear and sorrow There they all go No need for them now, Still learning to do so Was never taught how So deeply instilled And clotting my veins, Their intention fulfilled...

There are posh restaurants, a state-of-the art theater, and much more. This place is truly a landmark at the New Jersey Shore. However, it will be a part of history, and not around...

I am not sad The day is sunny Spirits high Well rested Yet my words went to a dark place They wrote themselves I was helpless to follow them Like being pulled by water Spinning down a drain I did not attempt to fight them No happy ending required No lesson to be taught Just words assembled Not a real person Yet still many of him exist Discarded Locked away Forgotten Stories...
