But I’m perfect for the right one

Different Frequencies
Faded photograph from younger days
So many memories are hidden inside
Beneath all the tired irrelevant cliches
Where fantasy and reality often collide
His hopeful eyes are so full of promise
Truly believing that love conquers hate
This withered soul searching for solace
To relieve the burden of constant weight
Wonder if he’d understand I did my best
Trying to avoid all the countless pitfalls
Would it possibly be too much to digest
Knowing I’m unable to receive his calls

Art purpose
My family
Presented
4 all of us
Who feel like
Outsiders
Yeah
You know who you are
This is 4 you
Welcome to my madness
It’s my purpose
In stunning technicolor
Have a seat
Let me pour you a drink
Stay awhile….

Random Thought
Another sleepless night wrecks the day
Without remedy insanity could take hold
Creating empty hearts molded from clay
While fragile minds turn desperately bold
Hasty decisions breed irrational thought
One step closer to finding who’s at fault
It’s not considered a lie if never caught
Emotions are victims of spiritual assault
Time is an enemy that exposes mortality
It’s human nature to wanna cheat death
Putting faith in technology to alter reality
In hopes of never taking that final breath
...

The Price Is Never Fair
Whiskey river flowing through my mind
Unable to remember which way is down
Needing to escape from the daily grind
Waiting for insanity to come back around
Hooked on the feeling of remaining numb
Casting blame on this foolish heart of mine
Chasing after love leaves me looking dumb
These toxic thoughts lead to rapid decline
Been broken so many times I’ve lost count
Yesterday is one continuous loop of despair
Couldn’t tell you how much or the amount
Details get fuzzy and the price is never fair
Unable to remember which way is down
Needing to escape from the daily grind
Waiting for insanity to come back around
Hooked on the feeling of remaining numb
Casting blame on this foolish heart of mine
Chasing after love leaves me looking dumb
These toxic thoughts lead to rapid decline
Been broken so many times I’ve lost count
Yesterday is one continuous loop of despair
Couldn’t tell you how much or the amount
Details get fuzzy and the price is never fair

The Last Woman Standing
I threw your indifference into the river
Watched it float on sabotaged dreams
Then sink, chained to the anchor of my despair
I blamed you for…everything
Digested your false regret, redemption
As if it were my last supper
It was illogical where my mind took us
What was once love became rage
My need to destroy you, to destroy the image of us, was blind fury
Beware the woman made aware
The blood of our sins soaked my wild mane
I sheared it in defiance
My fists, a barrage of justified truths, assaulted...
Watched it float on sabotaged dreams
Then sink, chained to the anchor of my despair
I blamed you for…everything
Digested your false regret, redemption
As if it were my last supper
It was illogical where my mind took us
What was once love became rage
My need to destroy you, to destroy the image of us, was blind fury
Beware the woman made aware
The blood of our sins soaked my wild mane
I sheared it in defiance
My fists, a barrage of justified truths, assaulted...

My Love
When I love
It's with my whole heart
Because I'm all in
From the very start
It's with my whole heart
Because I'm all in
From the very start

Statements
People declare when they’re finished with something to be held accountable
At least I do
I’m done with trauma therapy
I don’t want to know anymore
I don’t want to know what else has been done to me
I don’t want to know why I’ve behaved the way I have
I don’t want to uncover more secrets
I don’t want my memories to come back to me
I walked away from toxicity
I walked away from everyone and everything I ever knew
It was all a lie
The life I fought to reclaim was false
It’s pointless to hope for something...
At least I do

Wishful Thinking
Wishful thinking lead me down this road
I needed to find myself along the way
So many guilty seeds have been sowed
Darkening this field where demons play
Walking in shadows searching for light
So many summers chasing this illusion
Witnessed dreams being killed for spite
Suffering under a foregone conclusion
Remembering the fallen created a path
Showing me how to break this slumber
Imagine Bukowski with a touch of Plath
Forgot the name sure I lost the number
It’s for the love of the write I’m still here
Always...

Her Warmest Embrace
Spilling ink just to get through the night
Distorted thoughts rising to the surface
Sweetest muse marks me with her bite
Bringing desire and stoking my furnace
Sharing visions that bring a truthful urge
Wading in darkness while walking upright
Not knowing which version will emerge
Covered with shadows or bathing in light
She resides within my active imagination
Undressing wisdom with seductive grace
She leaves reason open to interpretation
Unlocking me with her warmest embrace
Distorted thoughts rising to the surface
Sweetest muse marks me with her bite
Bringing desire and stoking my furnace
Sharing visions that bring a truthful urge
Wading in darkness while walking upright
Not knowing which version will emerge
Covered with shadows or bathing in light
She resides within my active imagination
Undressing wisdom with seductive grace
She leaves reason open to interpretation
Unlocking me with her warmest embrace

Teacup
I once held love loosely
in the palm of my hand,
a delicate, fragile thing;
tripping over complacency,
I dropped it and watched
as it shattered on the floor;
frantic, I gathered the pieces,
nicked and bleeding
for my efforts;
and. although it took
a mastic of heartache
mixed with a thousand tears
to make them stick,
I made something new;
no less delicate, or fragile
perhaps even more so now,
precious and holy for its scars
in the palm of my hand,
a delicate, fragile thing;
tripping over complacency,
I dropped it and watched
as it shattered on the floor;
frantic, I gathered the pieces,
nicked and bleeding
for my efforts;
and. although it took
a mastic of heartache
mixed with a thousand tears
to make them stick,
I made something new;
no less delicate, or fragile
perhaps even more so now,
precious and holy for its scars

Chasing Dreams
Writing all my fears on an empty page
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears
Needing to share these random thoughts
Looking for common ground to engage
Never found it hard to connect the dots
Chasing dreams in a game of chance
I’m a realist when it comes to limitations
Sure it gets me off to make words dance
While venting all life’s many frustrations
Wisdom’s another word for commonsense
That’s been accumulating over the years
So many seasons spent sitting on the fence
Learning that nothing truly is as it appears
