Now All I Know Is Alone
My heart is hidden in those walls alongside memories of the time we spent
hungering for our next hit
I cannot remember when our room went dim or the faucet no longer dripped
Or how, below overdue bills piled on your desk I found a pink slip
Our love would never be one on which stories are built
But nothing will numb my sadness
it just grows in place of your absence
Would he be bound to secrecy or keep telling lies?
Life is absolute and to be absolved is to live in light
I know my love’s way remains impure, but I can only pray for mine ...

Dear Love, I hope this letter greets you well
I remember hearing your "I Love You" for the time
I guess you didn't hear the splinters of glass as my heart shuttered
my defenses breaking down
you invading my space—
you never knew your place
you never played your role
you were just supposed to be a groupie
but I found myself confiding in you
and I found peace in your hands as you molded my darkness
and kissed my brokenness
...obviously I curled myself into a ball

Jack White and other Spiritual matters
Prior to yesterday I fasted from Jack White for 8 days. Cause: One screwy morning while making my bed, neatly spreading the head of my Virgin Mary blanket newly bought on sale at Walmart, I looked up at the print of Jack White my mother bought me and winked at him and said:
“Love you Jack, we got this.”
I was Godsmacked. Thrown back violently into a moment where I had stared into a Golden boys centerfold in the pages of Teen Beat, pledged my undying love, straight into his turquoise eyes, and was crushed when he did not swear it back.
I got down on my knees and...

Ode To The Over Thinking Insomniaddict
One-sheep-two-sheep-three sheet whore
Black sheep-lost sheep-six feet no more
It's highly pastime to cast away stones
So a hardened heart will soften
If we let bygones be gone bye bye Just a tad little bit more often
Found left alone in my own wake
At my own wake
Waking up coughing in my coffin
So that's the bed I got to lie in
A dirt nap is what their talking
Well I ain't made that flower bed yet
For now I'm just a dead man sleepwalking
Shadowy shapeless sights by candle the light
From the wax and the wick is relentless like...
Black sheep-lost sheep-six feet no more
It's highly pastime to cast away stones
So a hardened heart will soften
If we let bygones be gone bye bye Just a tad little bit more often
Found left alone in my own wake
At my own wake
Waking up coughing in my coffin
So that's the bed I got to lie in
A dirt nap is what their talking
Well I ain't made that flower bed yet
For now I'm just a dead man sleepwalking
Shadowy shapeless sights by candle the light
From the wax and the wick is relentless like...

A transparent shadow
to accompany my heretic ghost
a toast with a crystalline hand
can heaven endure her promise
to this erratic and fanatic land
These turning weeds
lay at the feet
of these lavishly brilliant flowers
vibrant towers of succulent color
that hover above the dying
beauty again has left her beast
...

Oi Addiction!! (Shit happens, but so do miracles)
Who the fuck do you think you are?
Making me choose drugs, over my beautiful children
My spirited stepdaughters, my soulmate of a woman
My Ma my Pa...
“ so vicious“
“ so venomous“
“ indiscriminate“
What the fuck have you made me do?
The memories are not worth remembering
The secrets i used to get up to...
The isolation,The manipulation
Curtains drawn, sick in your own degradation.
Without invitation you invite me to die
Crumbling and stumbling “ Who the fuck am I“?
Where have I gone? I am better...
Making me choose drugs, over my beautiful children
My spirited stepdaughters, my soulmate of a woman
My Ma my Pa...
“ so vicious“
“ so venomous“
“ indiscriminate“
What the fuck have you made me do?
The memories are not worth remembering
The secrets i used to get up to...
The isolation,The manipulation
Curtains drawn, sick in your own degradation.
Without invitation you invite me to die
Crumbling and stumbling “ Who the fuck am I“?
Where have I gone? I am better...

Lucy/Demon #4
Help me unburden my mundane woes
Drowning in alcohol from my head to my toes
Inhibitions lose their power to taunt me and berate
Give me some liquor and I’ll show you the way
I drink to flood my sober thoughts
I hold my breath and drink three shots
I’ll drink until I forget how to drive
With a glass of wine my true love won’t die
I feel like tonight is the best night ever
Maybe I'll dance but I won’t remember
Yesterday will be a blur no matter what I do
With a sip of vodka and a gin or two
...

Molly Alice birthday song (step-daughters)
The light in my eyes is a reflection of twins
And the tune in my ears “molly and Alice” it sings
And the growth of my love is the greatest of things
It pulls at my heartstrings....
I’d give them the world and more if I could
I fractured the family now I want to make up
For all the pain that I’ve caused with so much love
Well it’s just not enough
I’ve promised myself I’ll do all that it takes
To protect them from danger and amend my mistakes
The devil has left me my Demons are gone
Now I feel strength to go on and on...
And the tune in my ears “molly and Alice” it sings
And the growth of my love is the greatest of things
It pulls at my heartstrings....
I’d give them the world and more if I could
I fractured the family now I want to make up
For all the pain that I’ve caused with so much love
Well it’s just not enough
I’ve promised myself I’ll do all that it takes
To protect them from danger and amend my mistakes
The devil has left me my Demons are gone
Now I feel strength to go on and on...

Normal is the best therapy there is!!!
WOW! it just never occurred to me,
It was never there on my infected blind mind..
I just took it for granted our future was mapped,
Together, by each others side..
Us fighting battles but they would often happen,
Smiling,crying fuming at injustice walking Betty🐾and laughing..
Our respective offspring grown”our time” had finally come,
But we bumbled along singing different songs,
As the moon bids farewell to the sun..
I did not come to you,
For in my private suffering was embarrassment and shame,
You had enough on your plate...
It was never there on my infected blind mind..
I just took it for granted our future was mapped,
Together, by each others side..
Us fighting battles but they would often happen,
Smiling,crying fuming at injustice walking Betty🐾and laughing..
Our respective offspring grown”our time” had finally come,
But we bumbled along singing different songs,
As the moon bids farewell to the sun..
I did not come to you,
For in my private suffering was embarrassment and shame,
You had enough on your plate...

RAINDROPS
My life is so pathetic from decisions I've regreted
I'm hardly ever sober cause the drugs help me forget it
I don't know which way I'm headed, complications of my past
My son is all I have and my health is fading fast
I can't stand to see him sad so mostly I've been hopeless
My doctor doesn't help me, all he does is up the dosage
From time to time I notice every second I lose focus
She swears to God she loved me but I never smelt the roses
Baby if it's over then it's over, let's end it
It's hard to be authentic when your heart's no longer in it ...
I'm hardly ever sober cause the drugs help me forget it

My doctor doesn't help me, all he does is up the dosage
From time to time I notice every second I lose focus
She swears to God she loved me but I never smelt the roses
Baby if it's over then it's over, let's end it
