			<title>Addicted</title>
			<description>&amp;nbsp;Addicted&amp;nbsp;I thought I had it under control,This addiction wrapped in chains,Buried, drowned, smothered in dark and deep waters,The part of me that craved a fixI was convinced had long since died.I never forgot how it felt to be high,Never wanted to feel those lows again,..</description>

			<title>Wildflowers</title>
			<description>Your kisses covered me like wildflowers,Persistent and bright and sweet.You held me loosely,As if your flowers would be crushed,Their fragile beauty ravaged.I knew they would eventually turn into weeds,And then to choking, stinging dust,But my arms clung to you anyway,Wanting my body..</description>

			<title>Halloween</title>
