life: acoustic & amplified

handle with care

Hanging on by the proverbial thread

heart hungry for more

feeling ready

to break

properly

crash and burn to ashes

Am I the only one

on the edge of sideways

trying to walk a straight line

as that slight right turn

ends up being a hard right circle

where I end up facing myself

in an old west gun-slinger shoot the lights out,

death of my dreams

duel?

Am I the only one?

I hold my heart in my hands tenderly

hoping my repairs hold

that it won’t give way

and slide through my fingers

like sand on a summer day

which can never hold a shape

longer than when the next high tide

washes it away
