Who’s Gonna Save Me?
Date: December 28,2011

Who do you think will save me
...

Get In Line
Date: December 31,2013

I cannot linger by the gate
...

You are not here
Only here, and here, and here
...

I will not look, I will not
No more to search in vain
I will not care, I will not
To do would be my shame
...

My lover gave me sorrow
A deep as drifting snow
...

Whisper Please
Date: December 11,2013

Oh, how I miss that wayward wind
...

Oh how I wish to love you
Like the winds of season’s past
To recapture precious moments
Now shattered, broken glass
...

I Hear The Phantom Calling
Date: February 22,2014

He is my midnight madness
...

I have found little to paint my life
As exquisitely as your song
For the sun did not shine on my bearing
Or grant me shelter from the rain
...

I asked him, “Do you love me? ”
His tongue crumbled like cold ash
Eyes faded and blew away
He cleared his throat twice
...
