You asked for honesty and I gave you nothing but the truth.
Words falling from my mouth, landing in a pile at your feet.
Mercy. Have mercy on my soul.
I asked for forgiveness and all I saw was your hand reaching for your keys.
The door shut with barely a sound, and I felt the world stop and freeze.
Mercy. Have mercy on my soul.
I know I made a deal with the Devil, and heaven knows I ate the forbidden fruit.
I'm on the edge with the pills in my right hand and Jack Daniels in my left.
Devil hold my hand while I tumble over it.
Dare to dream in a world that is for success to be defined by levels and ranking and age, gender, city limits and unnecessary paperwork.
And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room
Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon
Never be a winner if you're not in the game
And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe
Make a little space and get out of your own

Oh, get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Oh, get out of your own way
Get out of your own way
Quoted from one of my favorite music artists
And all I could hear was my beating heart; striking a steady tattoo in my chest.
And for a minute, between the slight pauses in the music, I could feel you lifting me up as I dipped and spun across the stage.
Despite the crowd before me and despite all who were dancing with me, I could only see you.
And in the moment, everything in me focused on you and the love and support you brought with you.

You've supported me in everything I've done, even if some of it was done on a whim.
The love that you show and give and share is more than I could even think of. And to be the person on the other side of that love, that truly is a blessing. And a blessing I'm grateful for every single day.
Pick it up, pick it all up.
And start again.
You've got a second chance,
you could go home.
Escape it all.
It's just irrelevant.

It's just medicine.
It's just medicine.

You could still be,
what you want to,
What you said you were,
when I met you.

You've got a warm heart,
you've got a beautiful brain.
But it's disintegrating,
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
from all the medicine.
Medicine.

You could still be,
what you want to be,
What you said you were,
when you met me.

You could still be,
what you want to.
What you said you were,
when I met you.
when you met me.
when I met you.
"Medicine" by Daughter
It spoke to me and reminded me of myself when I was recovering from a dark time in my life a couple years ago.
And I don't talk about you anymore. I stopped hearing you in my head.
And the conversations we used to have, I won't ever forget them. But I don't see you anymore. I think a part of me finally let you go. Swear I could see the light as your job was done and the stars called you back to them. Swear that I could see you in the stage lights as I danced across the stage last night. And I know you'll be with me every step of the way for the rest of my life.
Rest in Peace Myles
Sometimes love really amazes you. Sometimes you fall in love with someone and time just flies past the two of you. And one month turns into six and a year turns into five.
And there's nothing you wouldn't do for him. And nothing could ever tear you two apart.
Five years ago, I was just sitting by him, trying to get out the words to tell him I didn't want to live. And he pulled me up and said he wasn't going anywhere. I didn't think he'd keep that promise. We had no idea that we would make it this far and still be in love with each other. He's been by my side always. He kissed my cheek and said I was beautiful when I hated my body.
Five years we've stuck together. Five years of never ending love and respect and loyalty. Five years of laughter, smiles, goofy grins, jokes. Five years of being the other half of each other.
Baby you're my forever and always.
wouldn't trade it for the world. He's my everything and I love him more than life.
