The Crushing Crash
I got crashed; I became crashed; There must be some reason; I endured when I was lashed; Still, all slandered me of treason. I get flown by the Pilot, Who, too, succumbed with me; Tooth and nail he had fought, But who won was destiny. It’s a world that’s too strange, Of course, in the negative way; Slaughter is beyond my range; I can’t even think...

Beauty And Wealth
They call it a win when a wealthy man pushing thirty wants a pretty girl who's barely eighteen. A girl still learning the shade of her own skin still waking up from childhood dreams But it doesn't matter, what matters is she looks good beside him.

Harsh Winter Shows No Mercy
All empty streets are paved with sleet, it's not cold enough for a snowfall; the cheek-boned guy is seeking a place to sleep, he has found shelter in a warm corner down the hall! We expect some heavy snow, don't be caught cold; power outrage is a possibility, buy candles and stack up on food and check on friends; mental health...

Harsh Cold Winter
It’s a harsh cold winter You’re gone and I’m so bitter I sat front-row seat As I watched our love wither Heart gouged by the splinters You’ve silenced your ringer And my feelings for you Oh, they still linger… It’s a harsh cold winter Choked sobs and silent whimpers Sparks of love burned out Leaving ashes and cinder Sleepless nights Bottles of whiskey Skipped meals My love, do...

Harsh truth
I don't like people saying they wouldn't really spin the time from, .. .. I realized something. I always want to spin the time from where I was in 8th grade, Not to change how I was behaving, Because this is what made me happy and brought me joy, I was so innocent that I didn't notice, I want to be like...

A harsh lesson to learn concerning others
No matter how much time you have to help others, No matter how many resources you have to help others, No matter how many favors you call in to help others, No matter how many ideas you can come up with to help others, There is a harsh lesson we must all learn about others, It is not often you...
