Forever Clear. Never Obvious.

Tv's on... but I'm not watchin'

Backs' against the wall, hear the rain fallin'

Turned off the lights, closed my eyes

And slowly... my mornings plan dies







Slip on some shoes and I go outside

Rainin' so hard can barely tell I've cried

Throw up my arms and I begin to spin

The rains fallin' so heavy, and I just grin







My hairs a wreck, and i'm soaked to the bone

Check my pockets. yep. Damn i forgot bout my phone

I'm lucky if it'll even turn back on

Been outside so long, my planes long gone







Load up the car, suitcases in the back
Good thing i didn't bother to unpack



Even if i take the long, slow way

I'll eventually end up with you someday

I've Let You Go 2009

It's best if all is left forgotten
Wither with the fallen leaves
I think that I can breathe again,
Surely I'll be me again

Winter brings the cold and snow
it seems I've finally let you go
my decision or yours?
of  that,
I'm sure I'll never know

11/04/09

written before you were gone, mom

How can I explain You?



You're different from others


You have that smell, unforgettable


You have that laugh, cute, quirky

You're beautiful, you're brilliant

You know more than you think

Maybe it's not History or Geometry

But what you know COUNTS

For so much more...

For me, and for her

Some of the things you say

When you're serious, when you're mad

When you're trying to get YOUR POINT across

You reveal the passion you once had

When things weren't so bad

You worry about the things others don't

About the people others won't


You're softer than you show


Because you need to stay strong


Because you, you are my mom
