Burnt Bridges

You thought I'd gone, I thought so too
But something pulled me back
Dancing on the edge of hell
Peering into black

I thought I'd gain my other life
At the expense of words
But poetry has drawn me back
Old voices I have heard

I thought I'd gone, left you behind
Never to return
I dug a tunnel to get here
No bridges left to burn.

Spuds On Your Shoulder

A little help is all I give. No need to be so defensive. Politely say what you need to say. And I will gladly go away. A little chip, as we grow older. May be found upon our shoulder.

'Those Days'

So have you ever had one of 'those days'. You know, the ones when you cannot see the bright side of any situation, when all you want to do is cry, but you don't because, well, what's that going to do.

Every face can tell it's story, Every name it tells it's tale. Every step can tell it's journey. Every success can show it's fail. Every feeling can be shown. Every word can be expressed.
