BULLY DAYS

Just sit here long enough And the pain will dissolve The thoughts that taunt Will somehow subside, devolve Right?

OLD FRIENDS

For awhile I held on to the belief things would be ok.  I felt I knew you well enough and you knew me… and somehow we meant enough… and we would be ok.   I may wonder, now and then, where I would be now if we had never met; but I never wish we had…
