Poison
You can learn to love anything Even a bird in a cage will sing a song Even if it’s wrong Even if it kills you in the end You can learn to love anything Trade your heart and soul for a ball and chain Anything can bring you pleasure even pain Pick your poison

It sucks to suck
Those red wine kisses give a buzz with just one taste.
For a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. This perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So treasure...

You use your heart as a weapon And it hurts like heaven
What now?
Today may have been the worst day ever. I got blowing news at the end of the day that made me so mad I almost left work early. I was almost shaking with rage. And for me that never happens. I hardly ever get mad. The events of today make me beyond sad about the world we live in. We live in a society that believes in free bees and scams. Nobody is honest anymore. It’s these people who...
Time
I never thought I would miss you, not like this anyway. Time and distance has made me see what I couldn’t when you were right in front of me. My stupid pride listened to others opinions and forgot to listen to my own voice.

Better than I used to Be
I know how to hold a grudge I can send a bridge up in smoke And I can’t count the people I’ve let down, the hearts I’ve broke You ain’t gotta dig too deep If you wanna find some dirt on me I’m learning who you’ve been Ain’t who you’ve got to be It’s gonna be an uphill climb Aww honey I won’t lie I ain’t no angel I still got a...

I don’t even know where to start. So what follows will likely be just a word vomit of incoherent thoughts…but its the best I can muster.

On Repeat
Wonderwall by Oasis is on constant repeat in my head since you played it to me. It’s a blessing and a curse. What I wouldn’t give to hear it from you again.

I’ll give you a new heart, put a new spirit in you. I’ll remove the stone heart from your body and replace it with a heart that’s God-willed, not self-willed. I’ll put my Spirit in you and make it possible for you to do what I tell you and live by my commands.
