Phantoms

Good is good Bad is bad Until good’s no good and bad’s the best you ever had So much preciousness But who can see When our eyes only touch the surface and who we are is buried underneath Was there ever a chance to say Or do the phantoms hold sway When it takes more…Read more Phantoms

Too Much

Who cares what they think?Who cares what they say?Who cares who they are?Who cares what they believe?Why waste... ...Too much. ...Much too much. And yet...Never enough. Expressions fail.Affections flail.One touch, andAll is come undone.
