Fighting fire with fire, You’re just burning the world down. Smoke is filling the room, And you’re choking back tears Because you can’t sweep blood under the rug. You can only fight a push with a pull. Step back, stop playing the fool. Love lasts and History stands, but resentment only leaves us both undone. […]

Stars hang, frozen in place. She steps in. Day breaks. And I brace For the earthquake. How is it possible? Look into her eyes… They are solid ice. The color of sky. And so bright… No, sunlight Does not compare. I’m accusing the angels; They must know this isn’t fair. Sweeping bangs Obscure her gaze… […]
