Love Ends In Cemetery
[Verse 1] Well, hello there, Romeo — didn’t hear you knock Waltzin' in like love ain’t got a lock You've got big dreams and a borrowed car And a fistful of daisies like that’ll get you far She’s got your name in her diary heart But I’ve seen boys like you come apart You think you're chasing paradise and lace But you’re one...

What If He Says That to Our Daughter
-In the dead of night, when the world is silent, her whispers haunt the shadows of my mind. “Daddy, I’m so tired… I don’t want to be here anymore.” Her small voice, trembling like a ghost, echoes in my heart — a chilling reminder of the fragile life we’re trying to hold together. Late at night, when silence drapes...

Conversations
Conversations with my father, Bittersweet, and maybe sad Conversations with my father Talks that we never had. Companionably silent As we set off walking Neither of us known For doing too much talking Down Lambwath road To Billy Bulson’s farm, Each with a broken 12 bore Tucked safely underarm. I was at his hospital bedside On the day that he died Once alone in the car I...

Premium Member He Grew Old
When he was young. I thought he was old. It never occurred to me that I might be wrong. That old wouldn’t show up for years and years, decades even. He wasn’t tall like my grandfather. But he wasn’t short either. He had a habit of biting his cuticles that I inherited and would be...

Premium Member The Rooms he no longer Enters
His soul portrays the eyes of a wolf, lost without his pack - banished from his territory. In his deceptive demeanour, hiding his depressive state - he howls at the moon. An outcast unable to dream, he adorns a false smile at sunrise, as he's still scarred from the house he once built - brick by brick. Where walls of lullabies, were created...

A senior moment experienced by this drip

FATHERS AND SONS
MY BOYS ARE MY LIFE. BEING WITH THEM MOST OF THEIR LIVES TILL NOW, WITH THIS UNFORESEEN CHANGE HAS AFFECTED US AND CHANGED OUR LIVES. OUR QUALITY OF LIFE HAS DIMINISHED. I AM NOT AS HAPPY. FOOD DOESN'T TASTE THE SAME. THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE WITHOUT MY BOYS. WHEN I SPEAK WITH THEM, I CAN HEAR IT IN...

Mother, Father are weeping
Mother, father are weeping Because the heavens didn’t send their heart a soul The wind, their house is breaking And the morning is very cold Outside they find With the earth in the sky That their sound is not here Nor is it nearby There's a train screaming angels to lower their heads And a cold concrete block reeking of death When no one was...

You knock now
Father I miss you I wish we were close You're not that far, we're in the same house We eat dinner together We converse by silence, You smile at me, fill the space with jokes and love That we both know I won't respond to. But we pretend, we all do, That we are a happy family. Like I don't just act like you don't exist. You...
