Mischief Managed
You were anticipating shallow water Instead you fell in the deep end This water’s a shade of blue you haven’t seen before You forgot that curiosity killed the cat Explains why you would you go and do a thing like that Unfortunately there’s a price to pay for waking her When you had no intention of staying up late...

Premium Member Why Did You Bother To Come
Why Did You Bother to Come? You don’t need me You don’t feed me And we’re not having fun Why did you bother to come? You’re not sharing You’re not caring And buy coffee for one Why did you bother to come? Did you think it was a holiday Where you could play All your little games with me? Did you think my world so grey And you...

Premium Member When the Magic Spell Is Broken
When the magic spell is broken and the fog begins to lift. And the heat of the day breaks through and clarity is no longer adrift. The damp quickly dries and the light erases doubt. No longer in the comforting mist things are so clear they shout. It takes a while to exit that mist when its rose colored...

Premium Member The Let Down
"The Let Down" it’s never what you think it’s going to be like, The Let Down. rushes in and hurts like hell. after a while the softness in the heart falls, while you look lovingly over the future and the pain, well, that pain, is the sweetest pain you ever felt. you feed the love it wants, it holds on for a while until you're empty there, and the fullness is found in...

Sharp pain in my side! Big reaction! For a stabber I'll show no compassion! I search 'neath my clothes; Oops! No crime, I suppose When Sir Underwire is the assassin !...

A Letter To the Parents I Let Down
My biggest regret- Was something that was happening yet. As I faced off with unreality. There was the truth of causality. It was hard to recover. As there was a reality to uncover. That I had given up hope of independence. And that now there is a larger fence. Between me and the pain I should have...

Premium Member Losing
Our hearts like hammers tripping into silent sunbeams slipping, we moved, my team and I, into time’s immortal gripping. mourning the quiet passing throngs, wafting in the wordless void. No inspiration given, wrapped within precision’s ribbon, leaving paper cuts so thin to bleed our daily loss out loud. homeward bound, so slowly, with our heads reluctant bowed....

Let Down
Before I mean it to happen, my helpful words turn into a battle. You and the world on your side, me on the other. Hey, aren’t we supposed to love each other? Everything I say flies over your head. It’s one ear out the other. While tears drip down my cheeks. Bitter tears because I know it’s my fault. It is my fault for...

Premium Member Let Down
I counted on you when the chips were down, as the insurance spins me round and round. I looked to you as a guiding light, I find my trust was not placed right. What happened here? I'd like to know, as you read to me what the report did show. You can not back me this I fear. You want no confrontation...
