THE UNWITTING VILLAIN

TD and I have been friends awhile.  I don’t mean just casual blog friends, he is one of those friends I can (and do) count on:  He is 1) Never too busy to talk if I need him 2) Isn’t scared of blubbering, hysterical tears and 3) Isn’t scared off by an emotional screaming cursing…

MASQUERADE

Helena is my truth teller. She doesn’t pry, try to fix me, or even know me that well, but she reached out and told me she understood.

Because sometimes passion takes a nasty and angry turn straight into the field of battle. Written by Twindaddy and Hastywords Your mouth opened, speaking Words that don’t sound real Moving with strange energy Your feelings they conceal Like the winds of a storm Your words blow through my ears Leaving a path of destruction Creating…

THAT IS MINE

  Written by JStewart413 and HastyWords   Buried Deep down inside Lies The burden That is mine Hidden Torment lingering Inside A minefield Of heartbeats That are mine And I can’t deny As I explode From the inside Out The relief As shrapnel Jettisons Into reality Changing This world That is mine You may never…
