you reluctantly came into my life almost three years ago, and we fell for each other, hard. you ended it a year later, and broke our hearts. you tell me you still love me, you miss me, and give me big hugs and sometimes kisses.. you even said we would chat soon about our future.. yet, nothing. I'm just writing to say that I can't keep waiting.. I think I have to move on and give myself the love I deserve.. I need to continue the search for someone who can complement me and return the love I have for them. I will always have a special spot for you in my heart, but I need to find someone who follows through with wanting to be with me.. not just talks about it. —guess who.. again.

It's obvious the trouble we're in
When your father pulls up in a Mercedes Benz
He says he just happened to be in the neighborhood
But before he leaves he slips the landlord the rent
You say, "It's just a question of eliminating obstacles"
As you throw your dinner out the kitchen door
You say, "I know how you try"
But honey, let's eat out tonight

No one said it would be easy
But no one said it'd be this hard
No one said it would be easy
No one thought we'd come this far

You can't seem to ever fold up a shirt
I bring it up and you think I'm a jerk
But I think we're here to stay
I can't imagine it any other way

Sometimes I wonder who he's picturing
When he looks at me and smiles

Oh, and look we've come this far
—The Melancholy Crow

Slappin' leather was devised
During a wild streak in her life
She has a cheap apartment
Up on Royal Street
She brought home just enough
To keep her on her feet
She don't believe in anything
But it you ask her, she'll say
There's plenty of things to believe in
Sweet Rosalyn
Sometimes you gotta give in
Sometimes you gotta be loved
She got a number off the bathroom wall
She was looking for a good time
So she made the call
Got a strangely calm voice on the other line
Sneaky little priest trying to reach out to the swine
He said, "Hello my name is Father Tim
Seems to me your zeal for this life
Has been wearing a little thin"
Well, maybe we all could use a little grace
To know when to run and when to
Stay in one place
—The Flying Crow

Old James Dean Monroe
Hands out flowers at the Shop-N-Go
Hopes for money but all he gets is fear
And the wind blows up his coat
And this he scribbles on a perfume note
"If I'm not here, then you're not here"
And he says, "Call me Miscreation,
I'm a walking celebration"
My friend, o lawdy,
Went to take care of her own body,
And she got shot down in the road
She looked up before she went,
Said, "This isn't really what I meant"
And the daily news said,"Two with one stone"
And I say, "Hey there, Miscreation,
Bring a flower, time is wasting"
We got loud guitars and big suspicions,
Great big guns and small ambitions,
And we still argue over who is God
And I say, "Hey there Miscreation,
Bring a flower time is wasting
we all need a revelation"
—A Beautiful Crow

I know my correspondence has been both dramatic and strange, yet I want you to know I think quite fondly of you... I suspect things will be changing for you soon and I will be vanishing into the mists of time. I'm sorry I was not there(yet I was!) and there is a reserved seat at the table for you, always. —Dr. Strange

I celebrated two years of sobriety last week. Two years! I never in my wildest dreams imagined I would be where I am now two years ago. I drank more than I can remember. I drank more than I can forget. Thank you to all my friends. I love you all so much. Thank you to my big sister for making the call and waking me up from the nightmare. You stood by me and watched me grow from the pain and the dirt and kept the faith. There was always a real person in here. I would like to say to anyone out there who is down on the canvas right now: Never stop fighting ‘till the fight is done. You are alright. You are loved. You will win this fight. Never give up. Never. Ever. Ever. Keep your hope alive. Always remember that you are worth it. The sun is so much brighter now. I won't say it's easy, because it's not. The real reward comes later when you you see the HERO looking back at you. And you are. You so are. Do you know why monsters hide under your bed? Because they are afraid of YOU. —Lucky Man

Oh how beautiful all the tulips and daffodils are! What an excellent splash of colour they add, especially to some unsightly spots around the city. Thank you to all who put the time in to plant them! —More, more!

Breaking up with you was the hardest thing I've ever done, but resisting your one or two attempts to reconcile was pretty sucky too. Once I realized that you'd never be able to love me like I loved you, there was no turning back. It's pretty weird to know that you're happy with someone else, but I am glad that you are. I hope you treat her well and that you give her more than she asks for—you weren't really very good at that before, but I like to imagine that you have grown. —From M

Sorry for not recognizing you when I last saw you. I was having a bad day and somehow I lost my sh*t on you. Ever since I have felt like the world's biggest ass, and I could not be sorrier for how I acted. I only hope you can one day accept my apology. Our friendship was very special to me, and I am sorry for having stupidly ruined it. —Daily Coffee Imbiber

I've started having day dreams again about all the fluke-ish death scenario's that could happen to me while doing mundane every day things. Good to know my brain is finally over you. I've missed my morbid little pass time. —Healthier Brain Activity
