Life’s Treasure Map
Life’s Treasure Map I remember as a child What fun it was to find Treasure of sorts That someone had left behind When you have not very much This game can last for hours at a time You would search the whole day And maybe find a dime As you get older There is lessContinue reading “Life’s Treasure Map”

Infect me with your disdain So that I can feel your pain Cover me with your words And I will be your songbird Infect me with your madness I will wallow in luxurious sadness Your attention could fill me to the brim I don’t care if I sink or swim Infect me with your poison SoContinue reading “Infect”
