THE HAUNTED CREEK
THE HAUNTED CREEK Down by the haunted creek, Where nobody goes, The water runs slowly, And nobody knows. Why mist hugs the water, Why trees bend so low, Why footsteps keep following, Wherever you go.

THE WALLS THAT LISTEN
THE WALLS THAT LISTEN The walls that listen But do not speak, They take what they want From conversations each week. They turn the other cheek, Mysteriously there, Still they listen quietly, As though they have an ear.

Reclaiming Yourself
In some relationships, you eventually have to be willing to let the other person lose you. It's not out of spite, nor is it about forcing him back; it's because you finally understand that staying with someone who doesn't cherish you will only make you more and more subservient. You try so hard to maintain the relationship, but he takes your efforts for granted; you keep waiting, but he never truly steps toward you.

THE DEVIL HAS YOUR FEET
THE DEVIL HAS YOUR FEET Upon a cold and starry night, Where every twinkle chilled the air, A lonely soul reached for the gates, Believing peace was waiting there.
