The Death toll crawls ever closer
Piercing the peak of the mountain
Toward the stars in the sky
Ready to come crashing down

under the stairs

Released everything inside
Hollowed out my being
For a single parent whose son had died

I drove a thoughtless road
Until my destination was in view
Roger was crying in the shop
I didn't know what...

Falling from the sky
An explosion of heavy downpours..
A cold chilling night ..
feeling the bone chilling cold..

She is standing alone under the street lamp,
The light reflecting off her hair, 
The steam mists from her lips
She doesn’t notice that I am there.

So I pause and watch her leaning on the fence,
Lips and...

My heart dies
Everytime you hurt me
My eyes cry tears
When you break my heart
Over and over again 
I loose little pieces of my soul
When you treat me with such indifference
Sometimes when I glance in the mirror

Several
times I have walked by Arlington Cemetery
and felt my face wilt.
I’ve waded through Washington D.C’s ever-present puddles
to work every day and thought of stopping, reading the yellow,
moss ruined words on the graves of people who...

Buddies forever,
is what he promised me.
I was only 10 years old,
He’d be here for eternity.

My buddy was my grandpa,

Some people have ulterior motives. Intentionally.

Some people have remorse.
An apology.

Some people have profound words. Poetically.

Some people are tree huggers.
Organically.

Some people have no common sense....
