Don't you hate it when you hit a wall and can't create a single line worth saving?

Sorry, folks. I'll be back at it soon, I'm sure.

Peace,

Dave

I wish I could edit the header post on this but I still can't so...


"Fragments"

V1
Pieces of me
pieces of you
pieces of us
and all we went through
There in the kitchen
and living room floor
so many fragments
of what came before

Pre‑CH
I have bitten my tongue
when I thought you were wrong
Now I’m stuck in that loop
like a tired old song

CH
So I let myself cry
as the tears filled my eyes
I didn’t wipe them away
I just let ’em fall
when they pooled at my feet
I dropped to my knees
started cleaning the floor
of what came before

V2
I trace every moment
the sharp and the sweet
the words that we whispered
and ones we’d repeat
Now they’re scattered like glass
on this cold hardwood floor
and I’m sweeping through memories
I can’t hold anymore

CH
So I let myself cry
as the tears filled my eyes
I didn’t wipe them away
I just let ’em fall
when they pooled at my feet
I dropped to my knees
started cleaning the floor
of what came before

Br
Endings can sure be messy
but maybe breaking's an art
and letting all of it go
is how we can restart

So I let myself cry
as the tears filled my eyes
I won't hide it this time
I just let ’em fall
as I rise from the floor
leave the past at the door
’cause I’m done cleaning up
what was before


Peace,

Dave

Oh My... You paint a vivid picture, Dave!

My Ex was a heavy drinker, I certainly remember those days...
