You sure are an expensive lady to be in love with.

#5

Darling, I just wish I knew how to fix you.
Why were you so scratchy and low today?
Did that hard lemonade hurt you?
If it did, I'm sorry,
because it sure tasted good.

#4

Darling,
I thought we were getting better,
but you tell me we're not.
I'm sorry that the place I love the most
is maybe the place that hurts you the most.

#3

Darling,
Today you reminded me
just how brilliant you are.
You can mold yourself to shapes I've only imagined
and follow cadences you've never marched to.
I love you for that.
I'm just so sorry that our play has become painful.
Remember when it was only fun?

Today the doctor told me

that I’ve been swallowing wrong this whole time.

I’ll relearn,

but I wonder if this is why life without you

has been so hard to swallow.

This time last year I was crying over a boy.

This time I’m crying over you.

It’s pretty much the same except the boy was easier to get over.

Darling, I beg you, please come back.

MTD Thoughts #1

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.
