I want to wipe the feel of you off of my fingers
the scent of you from my skin
the taste of your kiss
I don't want to miss
I want to go places you've never been
I want to shake this love off my shoulders
the thought of you from my head
get you out of my dreams
it's a mystery to me
how you got to me like you did
I want to be free – from the ghosts in the hall
from the shadows that crawl over me
I want to be free- from the pain and despair
from the anger that pours out of me
I want to be free
I want to wipe that smile from your face now
I want you to know how it feels
to have someone play
with your heart and then say
that none of it was ever real
I want you to know pain and rejection
to feel the stab in your heart
but that never will be
because you would need
to have a soul and a heart
I want to be free – from the ghosts in the hall
from the shadows that crawl over me
I want to be free- from the pain and despair
from the anger that pours out of me
I want to be free

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
