endgame
I can't keep letting your emotions impact mine
you hate that my shields are up all the time
I know that you think you are trying
I don't know how to help you anymore
but I dived into the deepest hell
and I know how deeply you've met yourself
you can't give me what I need
long-suffering your lack of ambition
is so unfair to me, it is like pulling teeth
I've marked the path as far as I can see for you
and honestly that alone is too much
if you ever understand all I have done
emasculation has already doomed...
you hate that my shields are up all the time
I know that you think you are trying
I don't know how to help you anymore
but I dived into the deepest hell
and I know how deeply you've met yourself
you can't give me what I need
long-suffering your lack of ambition
is so unfair to me, it is like pulling teeth
I've marked the path as far as I can see for you
and honestly that alone is too much
if you ever understand all I have done
emasculation has already doomed...

What Was I Thinking?
i met those emerald eyes
so many years ago
yet
knew pretty quickly things
would become a shitshow
(which it was)
yet
hung on with all hope
and desperation of a
young & hopeless man
so i kept on trying
striving for better days
better times to be had
revealed the weakness
reveled in bleakness
yet
knew my time was limited
just needed an accomplice
yet ...

don't pretend you love my sharp edges
I'm trapped inside this misery
and I bruise the walls
with the erratic swings
of my mood
from silent to violent
and back again
I stand before you
in trepidation
wanting more
but not knowing how to ask
for the cage I've always
been desperate to escape
I too often
love the things I hate
I push you away
when I'd rather crawl beneath
your skin
dig my fingers into your mind
and see what you see
If looks could kill
I'd have killed myself
in my own reflection ...

Hi, my name is K,
and I almost slipped today.
There’s just so much I want to share
when I convince myself that you might care…
Alcoholics have sponsors when they’re under attack
but I have to find ways to have my own back.
So I pick off the scabs, I watch the blood bubble,
reread the silences, relive the trouble.
I let the hurt choke me like hands on my neck;
it’s not masochism – it’s reality check.
Then anger steps up to take over the fight,
beating back shame, setting boundaries right.
As tears flood my spirit, my...

What Were the Odds
117 Billion People
Over 190,000 years
What were the odds we’d exist together
7.951 Billion People
One lifetime
What were the odds we’d meet
3.95 Billion Women
3 years in the same place
What were the odds you’d fall for me
I think about this often
How the odds were against us
But by some miraculous twist of fate
You and I exist together
We know each other
We love each other
Isn’t it a beautiful thing
Over 190,000 years
What were the odds we’d exist together
7.951 Billion People
One lifetime
What were the odds we’d meet
3.95 Billion Women
3 years in the same place
What were the odds you’d fall for me

How the odds were against us
But by some miraculous twist of fate
You and I exist together
We know each other
We love each other
Isn’t it a beautiful thing

I’ve Made Up My Mind
I’m falling deeper in love every day
Thinking about you when I sleep
Here in my bed I just lay
Scared and excited for the future
Always thinking of the words to say
Can’t get it wrong this round
This time I need you to stay
Don’t want to live without you again
The last time did not go our way
We tore us apart back then
This time I pray and I pray
That we can weather the storms somehow
I promise that come what may
I’ll be there to help you
This time we’ll be okay
I’ve made up my mind that I love you
Thinking about you when I sleep
Here in my bed I just lay
Scared and excited for the future
Always thinking of the words to say
Can’t get it wrong this round
This time I need you to stay
Don’t want to live without you again
The last time did not go our way
We tore us apart back then
This time I pray and I pray
That we can weather the storms somehow
I promise that come what may
I’ll be there to help you
This time we’ll be okay
I’ve made up my mind that I love you

If I Told You
If I could tell you everything that I want to say,
Would it be too much?
If I told you your eyes drive me insane,
Would it scare you away?
If I said your smile gives meaning to my life,
Would you think I’m nuts?
If I told you the butterflies haven’t gone away,
Would you laugh in my face?
If I admitted that I’d die to keep you safe,
Would you leave me today?
What if I told you I’ve never liked anyone this much?
Would that be enough?
If I told you I’d never hurt you,
Would that make you feel safe?
If I said your laugh...
Would it be too much?
If I told you your eyes drive me insane,
Would it scare you away?
If I said your smile gives meaning to my life,
Would you think I’m nuts?
If I told you the butterflies haven’t gone away,
Would you laugh in my face?
If I admitted that I’d die to keep you safe,
Would you leave me today?
What if I told you I’ve never liked anyone this much?
Would that be enough?
If I told you I’d never hurt you,
Would that make you feel safe?
If I said your laugh...

Scared
I’m scared
I like her too much.
The butterflies,
Are they fear or joy?
Her eyes,
The way they sparkle,
It drives me nuts.
Her smile,
Oh God!
It drives me wild!
The way she covers her face when she blushes,
I want to give her the world.
But I’m scared.
I like her too much.
I like her too much.
The butterflies,
Are they fear or joy?
Her eyes,
The way they sparkle,
It drives me nuts.
Her smile,
Oh God!
It drives me wild!
The way she covers her face when she blushes,
I want to give her the world.
But I’m scared.
I like her too much.

A Year of Change From Bittersweet Farewell to New Beginnings
What a difference a year makes.
When I heard Greta Van Fleet earlier, I damn near felt the ghost of my late wife flick me in the ear to remind me of life with her.
Oh yeah... It instantly brought me back too - last July on our final road trip together; 2023.
Kara had this vocal crush on Josh Kiszka and loved “You're The One,” so it's a song I played a lot around that era.
I remember driving down to Wheatland, California (the long way around) to check out my own vocal crush, Ed Roland and his band Collective Soul. They were playing at the Hard Rock? ...

I don’t
I do not want
your path
to be tied to mine
I do not covet a ring
I do not need
To be your next bride
Nor do i want to be
one of your exes
I will not bribe
you to stay
Or look
for the nearest exit
I like our freedom
I’m not looking
for the next fling
And no, I am not a feminist
Looking for her equal
I believe in the differences
between the sexes
In fact
a man’s touch
has no match
It can leave you intact ...
