I have a fantasy
Of meeting a man that takes me away from all this
That leads me to a better life
Because I’ve been trying for years without success
To change my path
All on my own
But then I remember
That I don’t live in a movie
The real world is harsh
And the only person who can save me,
Is me.

It is awfully easy to be hard-boiled about everything in the daytime, but at night it is another thing.

Oh, darling, I’ve been so miserable.

Time elapses
The dust settles
Your eyes open
And for the first time
In a long time
You see the sun again.

In my mind
I know it meant something to me
And nothing to you

Sometimes hope can feel desperate
But in the end
It’s the thing that powers the whole world

I never feel more alive
Or more myself
Than when I walk the street
Of a city I don’t live in
When my feet hit the pavement
I feel a bubbling joy
That works it’s way from
My stomach
To my chest
To my neck
To my face
To my mouth
And I smile so bright and wide
That my smile could power the lights on Broadway
And ignite the city with
My passion.

Sometimes after I type the truth
That pours from my soul onto a blank page
I can feel an invisible weight lift off my shoulders
I can feel my body releasing its tension
I feel like I can breathe
An honest breath that flows from my body
Like a light breeze on a May afternoon
I feel content, at least briefly,
As I am enraptured by the powerful emotion
Of honest, truthful release.

The dark wind rustles
The leaves around our feet, on the trees
As he pulls me in by my jacket collar
His lips on my forehead…
