God's honest truth
As she lays in the hospital bed dying,
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again

Bumped Into
It’s been years
How you doing? How you been?
Do you still catch up with the guys from way back when?
Are you married? Kids?
Got yourself a girl?
Have you finally met the one that you get to call your world?
I’m fine, thanks for asking
No no really I’m just great
But is it normal to wish I could plan my final day?
Would you show up? Cry?
Would you even care?
That I spend my whole life wishing you were there?
I’m sorry, I’ll stop
I know you haven’t got all day
Yet I keep wishing I’ll finally hear you say:
“I love...
How you doing? How you been?
Do you still catch up with the guys from way back when?
Are you married? Kids?
Got yourself a girl?
Have you finally met the one that you get to call your world?
I’m fine, thanks for asking
No no really I’m just great
But is it normal to wish I could plan my final day?
Would you show up? Cry?
Would you even care?
That I spend my whole life wishing you were there?
I’m sorry, I’ll stop
I know you haven’t got all day
Yet I keep wishing I’ll finally hear you say:
“I love...

Number One
Try so hard,
Get so far,
Taking it all the way to the end
And when,
In the end...
Trying and pushing
And putting my face to the grindstone
Days and days of endless working
To get to the top
Then just
Stop.
Number one,
One and done.
Then what?
At the end of the road
No where to go
On the edge of a cliff
Previously covered by a mist
Obscuring the view
Of a path to no where.
Number one,
One and done.
How come?
Disappointment
Contempt
That...
Get so far,
Taking it all the way to the end
And when,
In the end...
Trying and pushing
And putting my face to the grindstone
Days and days of endless working
To get to the top
Then just
Stop.
Number one,
One and done.
Then what?
At the end of the road
No where to go
On the edge of a cliff
Previously covered by a mist
Obscuring the view
Of a path to no where.
Number one,
One and done.
How come?
Disappointment
Contempt
That...

It doesn't matter
I would tell you how i feel
But it doesn't matter
To be here in this moment
But it doesn't matter
To feel like my heart is being torn from my chest
But it doesn't matter
To be screaming on the inside not wanting to experience this death
But it doesn't matter
I could tell you how much you sharing your life with me has meant
But it doesn't matter
How the thought of living without you feels like a fate worse than death
But it doesn't matter
I can reveal to you that I am scared moreso than I have ever been in my life
But it doesn't...
But it doesn't matter

I could tell you how much you sharing your life with me has meant
But it doesn't matter
How the thought of living without you feels like a fate worse than death
But it doesn't matter
I can reveal to you that I am scared moreso than I have ever been in my life

The dream is over
The years and the moments are all that remain
Thought it hurts there wont be more, I shouldn't complain
Pieces and fragments are still better than losing it all
Watching the cracks in my world as it all starts to fall
Should have and could haves abound and taunt me
And now the thoughts of what never could be
How clear its become only way too late
You told me how you felt and I refused to relate
Now its my turn to know how you felt for so long
And to see how ignoring it feels so wrong
Cant make ammends cuz we're past that point
And the...

The in between
The darkness is closing in
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you
I hear it banging on the walls
Of my mind, my soul and everything within
Listening to the sound of my breath as it stalls
Everything comes rushing in at a pace thats hard to bear
Reaching for a hand but no one is there
Can anyone see me or do they just not care
Thinking of happy times I get lost in a stare
In between worlds I refuse to let go
Grasping at ghosts as my hand slips through
How could I ever possibly not know
From the beginning it was only you
The whole time its been you

I’m glad this wasn’t
I love you endlessly
I wish I could have made you feel it
Instead of the loneliness I left you in
When you decided to tell me your heart had already made up it’s mind and I think you gave me a last ditch effort to make me feel better
But it didn’t make me feel better I feel worse knowing I was trying for nothing
But maybe I wasn’t trying for nothing
Maybe I wasn’t trying maybe I’m making up stories
I’m not sure what I can believe from my brain anymore I know I’m sick
And shitty
Really really shitty....
I wish I could have made you feel it

Human nature
As humans we long to find love and affection,
Wandering lost, w no sense of direction .
So many lost souls, but no 2 are the same ,
And most people these days are all pretty lame.
Some how on the inside, I've been losing my mind. But reality is something im not trying to find.
Its all very stupid if ull look at the facts.
Just shut up for a minute, sit down and relax.
Life is so short and the time just flies by.
Father time is the pilot so I assume he gets high.
They say you'll get good things if your willing to wait ,
But...

The Man
There once was a man
Wish dashing good looks,
And a charm so disarming
He got ahead in life
Without the help of books.
Just a smile here,
A compliment there…
But behind it all
Please beware.
He was a ladies man
And he “loved” them all
One by one they’d flock
And one by one they’d fall.
Into his deep ocean
The one swarming with lies…
And like a shark,
He’d swallow them whole,
Leading them directly to their demise.
Years go by,
He’s still up to his tricks.
His hair is graying...
Wish dashing good looks,
And a charm so disarming
He got ahead in life
Without the help of books.
Just a smile here,
A compliment there…
But behind it all
Please beware.
He was a ladies man
And he “loved” them all
One by one they’d flock
And one by one they’d fall.
Into his deep ocean
The one swarming with lies…
And like a shark,
He’d swallow them whole,
Leading them directly to their demise.
Years go by,
He’s still up to his tricks.
His hair is graying...

Chapter 9 Home
As the plane began its descent into Oklahoma City, Brittney felt a heavy weight settle in her chest. The city lights below twinkled below like distant stars. She knew this place well, but it felt foreign after being in Kansas City four days.
As she closed her laptop thinking of all the learning from those days, she felt a tangled web of guilt and regret.
She had always prided herself on her faith, integrity, and loyalty. She had been raised with strong moral values, waiting until marriage before sharing herself with her husband, Alex....
