I just had a blast of ideas hit me
So hard
So fast
My mind just slipped sideways
And no paper around to write on. ******
****. Gone in 60
But the particulates will filter down
Rain into my head
I'll grow another batch soon

Meanwhile I'm looking at my long game
Because maybe I've got all the time in the world
At least now I know what I want
And that we
Are made up of the seven deadly sins
And all the other stuff that balances it all out

Oooh! Seduction, that was one of them
Yes
Suddenly I feel happy that I'm going to probably be writing for the rest of my life

Yeah, maybe tomorrow
I will have enough strength
Someone said on the news today that every 40 seconds, someone takes their own life.

There was Before You
When I was mostly sane
Then there has been Since You
Hello, life
Hello, love
Hello, pain
Now I can't help but wonder
if I will have to know
After You

Our relationships are mirrors that some of us look in
But don't really see until they turn into rear views
clearly I have too much time on my hands

Whenever I let go of you

It's because I have to hold myself together
I think I finally accept that for me it will never really be over. Then again, maybe in a week or a month or a year, I'll be laughing at this.

There once was a woman who'd been so sure

That people were actually quite pure

Til it happened one day

In an earth-shattering way

That she realized that no one (including her) really cared any more
I think that apathy is a lot more frightening than pain

I f I ever fall again
M y heart will know what feels right
P roviding that I listen to it, for cryin' out loud
O nce, I loved you beyond all reason
S o brilliantly deceptive and captivating
T hank you so much for all of it
E very moment we shared
R eminds me of what not to do next time
2nd in a series. I'm a crossword freak in addition to being a sensitive writer type (with the requisite broken heart)
