I’m single like a rose They don’t grow on their ownAnd solitaire on a tableTheir beauty will last but a dayUntilAll evidence of life begins to fade awayHe is my soilHe feeds my soul when I falsely believe I have been uprootedWhen the sun goes down and its time to restBy the moons light I reflectOnContinue reading “Single”

I looked at the hideous wall covered in paint. That must be the equivalent to a loud sound. So many bright colors clashing and overlapping like they were all in competition with each other and fighting over space. I knew how that felt.  I imagined girls, a little younger than me, perhaps eighteen, fighting over whiteContinue reading “Feel Me Out”

I am sorry.” Nodding was all this tired body had the strength to do. With one more tissue I followed the family liaison backContinue reading “Cruise Control”
