We leave little pieces of ourselves behind.  And it’s those little things that comprise a lifetime. The days seem slow but the years go by like a hurricane, sweeping the days away like a zephyr.

Soundtrack Coyotes by Jason Muraz I always wanted to be in love.  But maybe I am one of those who can’t be loved.  I try to hard to be funny, to be passionate—-to be lovable.  But maybe I always choose the wrong person to love or maybe they picked me by mistake.  Everyone needs love,…Read more Love Dump

Sound track by Down Like Silver, First Light Its dangerous to want someone as much as I want you I turned my back on the sun and let thoughts of you eclipse my fear Waning moon now my only nighttime confidant  I don’t sleep well any more, is it because of age or is it…Read more Old Summers

Soundtrack “Comatose” by Sierra Eagleson. I have my fathers temper, stirring just below my skin And then there’s my mothers compassion, lingering in the marrow of my creaking bones I’ve made my camp in this flag tattered crossfire  It’s always been a battle of attrition I’m forever at war with myself It’s trench warfare, two…Read more Magic

Soundtrack “Learned A Lot” by Amos Lee Today they would’ve called us geeks or nerds But when I was a kid we were the misfits, the oddballs The ones who ate lunch at the ketchup smeared cafeteria table None of us had cars or the money to eat off campus all we had was acne,…Read more Pardon The Cello
