Sweet- something soft to feel
Dangerously close to the edge of the road
A delicate rose
A field
Yet still I remain
Blissfully unaware
Of the time-bomb ticking underneath my dinner chair

Once more, I regress
Nothing more, nothing less

So lay me down where the tile meets the hardwood
And alas I'll admire the warmth of it's boards
For soon there after
Be no laughter
As I fall onto the basement floor

Once more, I regress
Nothing more, nothing less

Sweet- something soft to feel
Dangerously close to the edge of the road
A delicate rose
A field

I can only hope you’re still out there
dying under the same sun I see

Zero
Fingers stiff
Back arches
Eyes blur

Pages yellow
Keys sour
Strings rust

Melodies fade
People leave
Heart breaks

The piano remains
I can't play our favorite song. Not because I've forgotten it, but because I couldn't bring my self near the piano after you left.

Love didn't end wars
It started them

I feel like an Audrey
In a world full of Marilyns

She was always victorious,
For she studied the art of seduction,
Because it requires more cunning,
Than the art of war.
Learn to ******.
Win every war.
