In honor of the Kraus Reunion

"Some people are born to shut up and sit behind the desk
Some people are born to be safe and cannot take a risk
Handcuff up your boss, yeah, and be rough
He might like it, like it
He'll get a rise, you'll get a raise
Don't tell his wife about it"

He's so on the list

(*the list being a list of people Dan and I have mutually agreed we can sleep with, without consequence if ever given the opportunity):

seemingly perfect

Lack of posts
lack of inspiration
lack of anything good
lack of anything creative

husband away
lonely nights
full of tv
and obsessive
cleaning

looking for a little spark
to ignite my soul
something to keep it stoked
something to keep it warm

this happiness
seemed bottled
and on the top shelf
too far away
and afraid to reach

putting on a face
for him when he returns
keep this home perfect
so seemingly perfect

Who knew?

Who knew you could be allergic to blackcurrants?

Currently

"You said I'm wise, but I'm not so sure
Maybe my lies were just that good
And my lonely tears wish never to be
Puddled on the floor with just them and me
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
There's truth in these eyes, you can rest assured
Salvaged by voices that have no words
Running with fear left ruin in its wake
Is the measure of a man how much love he can fake?
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
Oh, time, it is so hard
With all your fears and your running around
We sadly burn down what we had
It happens so long
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing
It's a long life, a long life to be always longing"

I will follow you into the dark

This week left me
heavy with sadness
and he doesn't
know what to do
stands by helpless
in my despair
holds my hand
saying I love you, I love you
trying to mend
my hurting heart
for something
I cannot complete

I feel guilty
and so imperfect
knowing he didn't
sign up for this
that maybe I misled
I try too hard to
be positive
and end up
glued to the bed
unable
so unable

maybe it will happen
maybe it will not
I just hope
we can find a peace
within us
to mend our hurting hearts
and lift this
heaviness from me
