“Thinking with my heart don’t make me foolish“
Wish I could say my heart’s in the right place, but it’s been on my mind.
Your redemption does not reside here. Forgiveness and new beginnings are not items I manufacture, distribute, nor provide–not in bulk, no custom orders.
My HEART and MIND are made up, and they are both available for streaming and free download now.
Forgive?
I can’t
Trusting?
Never again.
Your tears
Ain’t welcome here
It broke my heart
When you said
Loving me is hard
Thinking with my heart don’t make me foolish
Like you said
It was thinking that you had any compassion
In your toolkit
Arms wide open to embrace you
Then you shot me down with a harpoon
Why go out your way
To make me feel something’s wrong with me?
Forgive?
I can’t
(Not like ever, it’s up forever)
Much less forget
(Not like ever, it’s up forever)
Your tears ain’t welcome
Your tears
(Ain’t welcome here)
Broke my heart
Is loving me
(Is loving me)
That hard?
My God, it hurts
It’s tearing me apart
Thinking with my heart don’t make me useless
Does it?
‘Cause it’s the only skill that I have
In my toolkit
Arms wide open to embrace you
You shot me down with a harpoon
Why go out your way
To make me feel this way?
Forgiving it?
I can’t
(Not like ever, it’s up forever)
Much less forget
(Not like ever, it’s up forever)
Your tears ain’t welcome
Why would you ask that of me?
(Putting my heart first)
Why?
Thinking with my heart
It may be unsmart
Doesn’t make useless
Does it?
Does it?
Doesn’t
Does it?
Make me
Useless

If you are not here, who will claim the love I reserved for you? Who will wipe the tears that flow for you? Who will hear the heart that beats for you? With you gone, who will remember with me? Who will remind me I’m not alone?

The Fire!! This Time (Foreword)
“Life is tragic simply because the earth turns and the sun inexorably rises and sets, and one day, for each of us, the sun will go down for the last, last time. Perhaps the whole root of our trouble, the human trouble, is that we will sacrifice all the beauty of our lives, will imprison…
