This is a song I wrote recently and just revised the lyrics slightly.
Letters For Juliet
Hello my dear friend
It’s been a year or two
Or five or ten
Those things you said to me
They left a cut
So broad and deep
Did you find out who you are?
It’s not right
All your problems left behind
No, they’re not mine
And now it’s over
Inside we all remain the same
Not alone yet somehow far away
Had enough you cannot save yourself
Run away, repeat with someone else
My Life as a Writer: A Brief Memoir
Writing is said to be a journey. According to Nissan, life is also a journey and we must enjoy the ride. It’s not so much about where you are going but how you get there. If this is true, then my journey is certainly not over but I have done my best to enjoy the ride. I really feel that’s the thrill of it all. Enjoy your writing and don’t worry so much about where it will lead you. My journey started long ago.
The first memories I have of writing are when I was around 7 years old. I was fascinated with fighter jets and movies like “Top Gun” and “Iron Eagle” and wanted to write my own. I came up with
various scenes that I pictured and put them to paper. None of these were ever finished but I enjoyed the process and hoped that someday I would have an epiphany and write the most amazing screenplay ever.
Needless to say, it didn’t happen but it started the process of writing for me. I was always bored with “Bob plays with his dog” and “Spot sat down.”
The next couple of years continued to develop more interesting screenplays and some various short stories but nothing great to speak of. Soon enough, along came fourth grade. The time spent in Mr. Skinner’s class was the defining time period in my development as a writer. It was an experimental class designed for 4th and 5th graders to be in the same class, allowing those 4th graders that were capable of forging ahead in their development to do so. » Read more: My Life As A Writer – A Brief Memoir
It’s half past midnight
And I’m starting to sweat
The alcohol permeates my consciousness
You start to say something
And you stop and you cry
I hold you tight
It’ll be our last time

The Forgotten Melody
It’s been a long time
Since this all went away
But somehow through the lies
I see you shining down on me
But did you have to go this far
To fall right down?
It seems there’s just no need

So here’s the lyrics to another song that I wrote a couple months ago:
Today’s another day
And tomorrow’s overhead
I’m alone and you’re with me
Just counting the days till you’re back
