Back in January, I went to Cahoots in London to meet two amazing people, the founding members of @thepasserinesband.bsky.social and I got to hear their brand new song Married In Vegas. Now, ALL of you can hear it too! Go listen and tell me what you think! #newmusic

I thank the stars,
for each circumstance
but most of all,
the happenstance.
Some people search
their whole lives through,
never knowing
they sat right next to you.

Maybe the reason
I met you
was never
for you at all.
You were a stepping stone,
a bruise on my heel,
a name I’d forget
to find the one
I won’t.
What if your goodbye
was just my beginning?
Yes, maybe you were the wind
just meant to move me
toward where I belong.

What rule did I
unknowingly break
to earn the ache
I wish to shake?
What curse is this,
so slow and sure
a heart now hostage,
how long will I endure?
What crime did I do
to be deemed unworthy
a sentence served
without one mercy?

I asked chatgpt what I would look like at 55 years old (I turn 55 in July) based on a high school photo and this is what it gave me back. It looks nothing like me, but it DOES look like my Mom somewhat. I guess I won't complain about aging anymore because based on this picture, I'm doing alright!

Do you ever notice
how the sky
just sometimes
sulks?
Clouds,
hung low
and heavy,
with silence.
The light
so pallor
It makes even
the tea taste
colder.
Then,
there it is!
One blue
laugh in the sky.
I couldn’t
help but
smile back.

Imagine trying to have a normal conversation with someone who acts like you don't exist. There's no hate, there's no love, just a total feeling of nothingness when it comes to you.

Now imagine that someone is someone you loved.

How do you even do it?

He sang to me
like I was
the only one
left
in the world.

I never thought
I’d hear that
again.

Or feel that again.

A voice
cutting through
everything I lost.

And in that
moment,
I wished
his song
wouldn't end.

sometimes
being in my head
feels like a nightmare
I can’t wake up from

but today
I made my bed
and the monsters
let me rest

I don’t know
where this is going
I won’t pretend I do

But something in me
is softer
since I found you

#Grief still visits
but it doesn’t
define me anymore.

When I ache,
you wait for me
outside the door.

I like who I am
when I’m with you.

And that
might be the truest
thing I ever knew.

Do you remember that time
you said, “It feels like a movie. Let’s pretend,”
and I laughed, and replied
“Then kiss me like it’s the end,”
so you did,
in the rain,
there wasn’t any shame,
just the two of us,
and a time
we couldn't name.

Can’t get enough
of the way the wind
flirts with the trees,
or how strangers
sometimes smile back at me.
It’s all so good.
I’m #insatiable and
I want it all.
Every laugh,
every wrong turn,
every song that makes me
close my eyes and just feel.
Yes, I'll have more, please

Have you ever experienced someone that was once a very big part of your life treat you like you just don't exist?

It's terrible.

He built an #emporium
It was grand and supreme
It was stocked with reflections,
It was his favorite theme.
No one but him ever stepped
through the doors
Because love isn't built
In a vanity store.

I feel like sadness has a shape,
like a #contour you can trace.
Mine is jagged,
like it’s broken
but never fallen.
Just stuck and sharp,
in all the wrong places.
They say it’ll smooth out
and soften over time,
But I feel like its just settled in,
getting comfortable,
and planning to stay.
