Azalea Lee,
Don’t think about me—how we
used to be—go free
If I wanted thee
to fixate on me, don’t ye
think I’d have done more
I can’t right foresee
a future where we… connect,
as bitter as it makes me
Forget about we,
about us, about me… please
I need this to be
Is it really wrong, If it’s alright
Am I the black, in this world of white light
So sick of bulls_t, too weak to fight
So goodnight, goodnight, I guess we were right
This story’s been wrote, before our first fight
Goodnight, goodnight, I guess they were right
If left up to me, I’d hold you too tight
Your wings won’t take flight
Your songs won’t sound right
So go, as you know, what I say is what’s right
A chance or a plight
A boon or a blight
Choose well, choose now, ain’t waiting all night
And if, by somehow, that our sacred vow,
should make it through the night,
I promise thee, that you’ll always be,
the single best thing in my life—
all that I’ve ever done right
Words cut like the edge of the knife
So I’m sorry,
so sorry,
I’m sorry to see you go
But if you should stay,
there’s no other way,
that I see how our story will go
Latest So Far…

“The Tell-Tale Heart” – Audio Fiction
Hi everyone. I wanted to share with you one my audio projects (“Everyday Eldritch”). I make dramatized audio fiction for my podcast. I mostly do stories within the public domain, but occasionally I’ll branch out into original fiction stories by lesser known authors. Who knows, maybe you’ll hear some of my own poetry or stories on here someday! Anyway, if this sounds interesting to you, go check out my Podcast or YouTube channel and give me a Like, Subscribe, or Share! Thanks for your support, and looking forward to posting more of my work here for y’all to enjoy soon! On with the show!
A guilty man confesses to a horrible crime. The details surrounding the case are strange, to say the least… An incessant ringing, and a pale blue eye. The Imp of the Perverse is back again, ready to claim another victim of conscience.

Survival, #2
3 Days Later
Woo-boy, got lucky today! Took a chance on a nearby outdoors store and it still had a few good things left. Got some fishing hooks & wire, a decent rod too—that’ll come in handy when it gets warmer—a new pair of boots, and a heavy winter coat that looks to be in pretty good condition still. There were some other little things, too—matches, some fuel, a sleeping bag, water purification tables, that sort of thing. The point is, I caught a break. Who knows, maybe I’ll make it through this winter, after all.
