Time is fleeting, like a deer spooked in a forest.
Trees can only watch as it passes by. The wind created rustles their leaves, pulling loose ones along its breathe. Those pieces of them never to return, a void in their beauty, forever changed.
Time is fleeting, like the second hands on our watches.
We bend the hours, hoping to gain control. Though like sand it slips away. Carried off by the waves. Lost forever to the sea of tears we cry.
Time is fleeting, like the beating of our hearts.
Racing towards the finish line up ahead. It only slows for a moment, when it has nothing left to give, then stops. A life is gone. Every moment is counted, emotions mix like a stiff drink, a pill that just won’t go down. We beg & plead & bargain, but it’s all over now.

Home
They say home is where the heart is, but I just don’t think that’s true, because if home is where the heart is, then I’d be home with you. Instead there’s an empty space, where our love used to be. So if home is where the heart is, please bring it back to me.

Babydoll Head In My Closet
This frightening experience occurred when I was about eight years old. I used to sleep on the couch downstairs, next to my dad's bed, because I was afraid of the dark. My mom typically wouldn't get home until around 11pm, so I always slept near my dad for comfort.
