Tired Songs

Stretch and work my brain

Hours into the night

Hours into exhaustion

For words on digital pages

That are edited away like vapors.

I did something there, I really did.

But who will ever know?

Who will ever care?

Reality to AIM for

I checked out my buddy list on AIM tonight.

Some buddies have faded. And not from me, but simply from the care of people in general. I see and sense this.

Some buddies I knew were just kids a couple years ago, but something happened to them. They got hurt by a love or fell out of favor from work supervisors. They've become reclusive. The light has left their eyes.

Probably the same mantra: Build shells or die of pain from the elements.

I want to chip away at you, but sometimes I feel as if I will die of fatigue trying to get to your impossible center.

Happy Valentine's Day

I know it's early, but I can't help it.

Sweetie, thanks for a year that even I with my crazy imagination could never have dreamed of.

You are the real thing. I love you. With all my heart, I love you!

Happy Valentine's Day.
