A dogma, creed, a school of thought A cause for which one could have fought. Goals pursued and victories won, Fulfilling, when there’s a hill to die on. With loss of will, and flame unalive, Perhaps by cause, that’s self-contrived. Once proud follower, now left forlorn, Days are dull with no hill to die on. The self now on its ...

Where there are lines washed so white but, Couldn’t meet unless it’s snowed. Would you forgive this rain again, For playing when we don’t want to play? ...
Way too far to reach She stares up at the sky Thankful that it’s the same one They are under. Never has it been this hard To say goodbye But now it all feels empty, A void filled with memories.
