Don't Cry Mother
Sudsbury Ridge Jun 2018
Don’t cry mother
You’ll be united once again
Once again be in the presence of a friend
Friendship sometimes comes to an unexpected end
Mother, please wipe your tears away

Don’t cry mother
She may be gone but memories last a while
Remember when she’d snarl when she smiled?
You didn’t need a leash to walk her a few miles
Mother, please wipe your tears away

Don’t cry mother
He prolonged his life to be with you longer
Sometimes you didn’t think he’d make it, he proved he was stronger
Keep him in your heart, and never let the memories be conquered
Mother, please wipe your tears away

Don’t cry mother
Although they lost their option of survival
The Rainbow Bridge awaits your arrival
Companions and friendships will spark a revival
Mother, they’re waiting for you, so they can wipe your tears away.

An Intoxicated Insomniac
Sudsbury Ridge Jun 2018
An intoxicated insomniac is who I am tonight,

So I will dive into waters in which I cannot swim.

I will try my luck, God knows I need it,

Because I am me and you are you, and that makes all the difference.



Here I am, behind in life, trying to get my **** together.

There you are, as beautiful as can be, with everything going for you.

Some laugh at the lonely losers, but tonight I am one.

Tunneling my vision towards a woman who can snap her fingers and have what she wants.



My drunken courage will not stop me from making a mistake.

I will undoubtedly humiliate myself tonight, just to tell you how I feel.

It has been years since I have looked at someone the way I look at you,

And I cannot quite tell what it is, but something makes you stand out.



Yes, obviously you are gorgeous, but it is more than just that.

Me thinking you are beautiful makes me no different than anyone else with a functioning pair of eyes.

I sure would like to find out what it is,

So I will make sure that I do not miss out on the chance of knowing you.



Maybe you and I can spend some time together.

Whether it be this week or next month or in twelve years.

To ask is all I came here to do,

Now my phone battery is dying.



I will talk to you in the morning and use my intoxication as an excuse for my honesty.

I will apologize for the sober words I do not have the courage to say.

And because I am me and you are you,

An intoxicated insomniac is all I will pretend to be tonight.

— The End —
