“When others deny your objective experience and try to turn it subjective.”
Upset & Distressed

Frankly, My Dear,
I don’t want to deal with all of this on my own, anymore.

Hearts’ Haven
Residences can change and tides can shift…
In our love is where we belong.
That’s The Thing

Tell Me
If I’m safe, yet…
Have I found my home?
Come On
Come On, Come On…

Crawling over each other’s skin
Looking for a way to get into

Where
“Can I leap to?”
Smoke Smothering
“I mean…
Eventually, you just stop breathing.”
Priorities
“If one is dying quicker, well, that’s a scary feat…
But, meanwhile, the stomach hungers as the mind bckons for more sleep – even as cells ache.
Is there anything safe to invest in?
Can anything – including perceptions – be trusted?”
