Below is my part of the relay. Read parts 1-10 to catch up located here. Suzie wasn’t sure she could trust Sam, trust wasn’t…
There are so many songs that I connect with on a deep level. The one I am including here was a constant in my ear for months. Although it is talking about a relationship I didn’t hear the words the way they were meant. At the time I was trying to fix myself, my thoughts,…
Our first poetic duet together and it is just what I needed as we wrote it at 1am this morning when my mind was racing and wouldn’t let me sleep. Thank you Josh for being such a good friend. Written by Josh Lindsey and Hastywords Peering around corners Built on visions from yesterday Nightmares…
