This Broken Record
an original poem by Jason White
When I think of all the things we could have been. All the things we could have seen. Everything I didn't want to be. And all the shit I've become. I look at the scars I got. The ones that stare back at me. Those that don't. I spend hours cursing the skies. Bludgeoning my fists against the ground. I'm like a sailor with no seas to navigate. Now I ain't got shit left. Not even the skills that made me who I once was. Just a shell of a human who had once been. Addicted to a life that could've been. Maybe shouldn't be. Just ask the empty bottles all over my floor. The fire in the hearth cold just like my soul. Full of ashes, proof that happiness lived here before. Don't ask me what I want. I just can't cope with pretending no more. I'm about to take the needle off this record. It's broken and I don't wanna listen to this song anymore.

Give Yourself to Me
Sexy dancer. Let me change your life. With just one kiss. Let me touch you right. From your feet to your lips. Let me experience everything you are, everything you were meant to be. Sexy dancer, take me in. I want to drink you up. Get high off your silky skin. Your captivating eyes. Your honey voice. I want to fly with your soul, free as a bird. I want to soar higher with you. Higher than I've ever been. Angelic dancer. Move your body over here. Slide your way into my bed. You move so effortlessly, the way a butterfly dances in the wind. Angelic dancer. Let your curves speak to me. Satisfy my enchanted heart. Just one night. Give yourself to me.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
