Forever Rain

 I was dying to live

gave all I had to give

born in a rainstorm 

imperfection's demand

I was sinking from sight

falling into your hands

we burned our fingers

changed our mind

you were trying to hide

always trying to hide

got lost in a dream

betrayed by your kiss

waking up high

like it was a gift

you were a love - oh

what a love

wasting me to get it right

I was starving to feel

you turned out the lights

we were a movie

and tragically fake

perfected liars, falling down

in a forever rain

what a wasteland we built

shifting love into sorrow

our sky full of beauty into a

guiltied tomorrow

oh but I loved you

like an unplanned bullet

just a fool

a jewel in your crown

don't discard me yet

I'm still around


I'll be around....


Know your worth. In matters of love make them earn your heart. it's too easy to give yourself away. You are worth everything and more & you owe yourself a beautiful love, a love worth sticking around for. 

thanks for reading, much love to all - V

Savage Jack

 Sin is drowned in a river...

people are too

California's just a word 
Johnny, Jack and Jim
are my friends
Danny's just a memory
Carolina's just a dream

Staying in between the lines
make it all dark
Draw the curtains
draw down the moon
board up my heart


I apologize to you all that come here and read my work and I know some of you have been with me since day one. The last year plus has kicked me to the curb with heartbreak more than I care to admit. Loss comes in many forms and I'm reminded that there is nothing one can do to change the outcome of others' destiny. We are just lucky to have the family and friends we do and if we're lucky we're loved back as much as we unconditionally love them. 
We are left behind with goodbyes and non goodbyes. Those are the ones that hurt the most - you didn't see it coming, and it happened leaving you stranded with the burden of carrying on. After all isn't that what they would want. I'm taking my time but I'm slowly coming back to life without the answers I seek. To be here and now must be enough. Take care of you and your beloved. I appreciate you every one so much. Much love - Vanessa
