Packaged

If you told me before I started,
That right now I'd be here,
With no one with me,
I don't know how surprised I'd be.

Grab a bat...

Then you told me I had nothing,
Between now and then,
I probably would have laughed,
At the idea of being alone.

Go for it...

People make it look so easy,
Finding someone to care for,
Someone who would cared back,
Regardless of time and place.

Do it, wind up...

And with having nothing,
Came absolutely nothing,
Doing everything except everything,
Being something without something.

No, don't hesitate...

Being alone brings value,
New values of a lonely life,
Like I had a choice,
Or anything to base them on.

Now your major league swing...

New values of a heart,
Still brand new,
In a brand new case,
Of triple-paned plexi-glass.

Unload your feelings...

Through the bat...

Break on through...

Would you know how to,
Treat something that is never been seen?
Or would you know to handle,
What it's gonna give ya?

Again, hit it again...

Do you really want to try?
Is it what you really want?
I will give you what you would want,
'Cause I'm filled with unused energy.

Don't give up, it's yours...

Use something harder...

My shelf life is only so long,
Even something new wastes away,
While still in its package,
So, please let me out!

Break it, break it open...

A crack, you're almost there...

So just do what you feel,
I guarantee to you,
That I can keep up,
And I'll be behind you all the way.

Smash! It's open, it's yours.

I trust you know what to do.

Washboard Blues

My favourite saying of late Is that I wanna cry. The world has been crumbling around The people The state of affairs The disbelief. I say the words Jokingly But there's a piece of me That would kindly accept A tear... Or two. There have been more days Than less That I could use a reset button. I would start it all again, There are times where I regret Everything. If I wanted to live with no regrets I probably could have done more I probably could have said more I should have meant more. Morbidity Mortality Time... All things weighing me down. There's this sudden end It's coming soon Sooner for some Not soon enough for others But it's coming. If I was to go right now Away Gone Left it all behind... I don't want anyone to think of me After the fact. I don't think many will Some might A passing glance Something to do But I'll be gone Somewhere more To where I'm supposed to be. Africa Asia Europe Or Beyond. I haven't quite decided Yet But I will.

Snowy Interval

Our winter is right around the corner And the thought takes me back To when we found ourselves Last time around In the coldest of days. Even in those harshest of elements In the coldest of all the months I couldn't feel the chill Because between your smile and your words They were the best of days. And just like the unpredictable Alberta weather The storms rolled in I tried to stand my ground Withstand the worst of what it could throw Until I found the peace to know the storm was me. The summer months were devastating The air was dry The sun was unrelenting It was a record year But the chill in the empty hole was all I knew. The leaves have been falling awhile The mind wanders when unchecked Smelling the weather changing Has the heart reeling For another one of those great snowy intervals.

Not Yet

I'm trying to resist It shouldn't really happen I don't even know for sure. It's a good thing Not knowing keeps me from falling Too far from too much.
