To write is to call
and pretend that you don't care
if there's an echo

Time to go outside
To face the darkness and cold
It's time to go home

Unforgettable
You keep coming back to mind
You're still lingering

There's something about
my listening, my loving
that draws people in

Sometimes we're hurt most
by the things we wrongly think
of as protections.

1028

I can't stress enough
that stress is an inside job,
he writes as he sighs

I want a divorce
From the me that is not me
From my dark shadow
