A lie is bitter
Stain on the soul
Muddies the waters
To what end or goal
...
The melody of love
Is a vibrant track
With highs and lows
The lyrics pull you back
...
I came into this world
A mixed blessing
Cast in stone
Emotions all a swirl
...
I found myself
After many years
Trials and tribulations
Too many tears
...
A broken heart is tender
A bruise upon the soul
Wounded by a lover
Who failed his only role
...
I had a plan
I chose a path
Made a commitment
Settled in
...
I woke up at the edge
Of life today
I could see my path
And where I strayed
...
The night holds me captive
A torment of eluding sleep
I dream of a peaceful respite
But dreams can be deceptive
...
What is this sensation welling inside
A vague familiarity tantalizing
Suggests a light shining with pride
I’ve known it before, the bell does ring
...
I drew his name
In lipstick on my mirror
Then left a kiss print
As a reminder
...
