Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
I cannot let you hold my happiness For your hand to caress or to drop It is not healthy It is not safe For your happiness to depend on an… I’m taking it back but no longer r…
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
