Where is the Cavalry
Where is the cavalry I’m all alone Standing at ramparts Of crumbling stone. And my back wants to break, My head wants to scream. Let me awake From this maddening dream. The ramparts are shaking The bricks want to fall My spirit is breaking I can’t hold them all … Please don’t forsake me, Please come and fight. Please come and wake me Deep in the night. Tell me its over, Sing [...]

9. February 2008
The worlds gonna die, If you don’t go away. It doesn’t matter if I cry You have to go away. I can scream For death and hell; It doesn’t go away. I can dream That all is well. It doesn’t make you stay. Damn the world, Your wife needs you too Tell them to go away. Damn the truth, The world’s gonna die If you don’t go away. Written by Anna [...]

6. February 2008
Please miss your plane. I’m breaking glass Inside my head. If I bang my head Hard enough And long enough Into the wall, If I throw enough jars Around my room And crash them into Shards and hell, Would you make This be a dream. Wake me up. And then I’ll say “I had a dream, You had to go.” And let me curl And hold you. Warm, protecting, safe, and strong. “I had a [...]

20. November 2007
Keep safe distance. Cite your claims. Let the fog Enshroud your shame. Yield no whisper Of remorse, Give no sign That you endorse The fables of The ancient wives, Who kept their men And lived their lives .. The crossing bears No one-way bar. But shut your eyes, And touch your scar, Remember what The madman said. You just live once, And then you’re dead, And happiness Is all a myth, The road ahead Is clouded with Monstrosities Who can’t [...]

19. November 2007
You breathe at night. It makes me smile. You sing to me, And for a while, My heart feels calm, My feelings clear; The world seems simple, When you’re near. - Written by Anna Williams at age 32

13. November 2007
I wish my husband were online If he were here, I would be fine. I wish he would turn on his phone. I sit at night, I’m all alone. I wish he would come home to me. Its been a year, too long, you see. I can not bear another day. I wish he hadn’t gone away. And when I cry, he can’t [...]

16. October 2007
A crease in the sheets Looked just like your feet, But I knew you had left. So I straightened the bed. Half-hoping to find You were lying inside. I imagined you’d say That you’d got off the plane, You’d decided to stay. Or that maybe, you’d say That you’d had to return; Or that someone had learned That you shouldn’t have gone. But my image was wrong. It was [...]

29. September 2007
My stomach burns With the quaking tide, When you play with my toes, When you tickle my pride. Take me away To your far away land, Buried like dust In the prints of your hand, Where your smile doesn’t crack, And fade, Before the hours Draw into days. I lay in the bed Of a perfect stranger. I played with his words, Mimicking danger, And he begged me to tell him My [...]

3. September 2007
Unlike a lightless chasm, No deep mystery to fathom. What I may or may not feel Is un-vital. Hardly real. Yet you are. More than the rest. I love you all. Or do my best. In a world I longed to find With all my blue moons left behind On the far side of the earth. - The stars, perhaps, have greater worth Watched from [...]

11. August 2007
In the desert, in October, All my thoughts were sane and sober. When I met you it was over. …You went away, before too long. I left, the day you disappeared, To the mountains, sharp and sheer, Where the air was cold and clear… I thought I’d lost you; thought you’d gone. I recall I heard a sound, You said my name, I turned [...]
