I should have known,
There would be hell to pay,
Its a shame I didn't realized,
That look in your eyes,
Was going to haunt me someday,
Maybe I wasn't ready for the battle,
Not that day,
Not when everything felt so strange,
I can't tell you when it all went up in flames
Or explain,
how hard my heart hit the ground,
Oddly enough, I'm not sure it even made a sound,
Some nights I can still feel the heat from the fire,
It sends shivers through my spine,
But the darkness was never a match,
Not for a heart like mine.

Lifting the Curtain to a Successful Month
April has been a fantastic month for me in terms of writing endeavors. I’d like to share what’s been so great about it just as many other writers would do. Share successes. I’ve noticed other writers or artists have shared successes and when you just see the snippet of their success, it appears everything has been going right for them all along. But we haven’t seen behind the curtain, we haven’t seen their hard work and their failures and those months that were fraught with disappointment. In everyone’s case, it’s far from the truth. But for the outside observer it isn’t always apparent.
