Sometimes, when I exhale puffs of...

HimIn the quiet of the night, she waits alone,
Her heart aching, longing for his tone.

Of loneliness that...

The Guessing GameI don’t speak, I write.
I don’t bark, I bite.
Though I don't meet your gaze,

Is your response to my delight?
You make me think, oh babe,
Is...

These Silly And Shameful FaultsBeing so awfully insecure
among confident people
seems ridiculous and brittle;
I'm very humble by nature,
it will not take me anywhere:
I'll end up gathering crumbs!
I'm too stubborn, still refusing to pay
for these silly and shameful...

Lost LoveThe world plunged into darkness, on the day you said goodbye.
You were my sun and you were my moon,
You was the light in every room.
Time just stands still,
My heart churns and I feel shakey and...

Your Love Is GarbageThis has been a huge mistake
All you ever do is take
Without the care or concern
You left me alone to burn
In a fire pit of despair

The Haunting of the MoonThe Haunting of the Moon
She comes when the Moon is heavy
With wishes from many a maid
Who with passionate longing,
Their dreams upon it laid
She comes when night is warmest
In the time of the southern winds
That bring...

Strangers, strangers?
She had found sanctuary in those pages
And He had found heaven in her palms.

Her thoughts would spiral into words,
Delicate whispers coaxing the ground.

Crazy Tante von Vogt
Never met her, yet I've heard
the crazy Tante von Vogt
lived her life as any would,
if they were crazy.
She'd walk to butcher's each week
no nod greeting who might pass.
She'd buy four hundred grams’ meat,
ask for bones...

Sands Of LoveWhy you being such a chump
You left me in a big hump
Of loneliness and hurt
Tossed aside like filthy dirt
Specks of small brown sand
You let slip right through your hand
We used to be really close
Every day...

ConsumedThinking how all those weeks went by so fast; now long in past.
Cry alone for how we are so far apart; we may fall apart.
Lonely 'cause I miss somebody; whom I love more than I...
