Long before he stepped foot on a stage, he was an actor. Cleverly spinning yarns for the people around him to listen and marvel at, wondering how such a young man carried on such grand adventures. He loved being the center of it all, it was an addiction .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1238209/ I've been thinking for awhile Of the cigarettes and drinks we waste awayThrough the desert, looking for higher groundOr a place for my mind to stayIt was not my place to questionOr wonder where your heart was that nightBut darling I'm invested I'd love you for the rest of my life.We'd grow.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1230405/ Allow me to remind you I'm dying slowlyNo doubt that drugs will me leave lonely.I'm staring at your picture, I'm reading the scriptureI'm falling in the dark stumbling toward the refrigerator.And every blinking light that beams within this canyonReminds me of the night that I lost my love companion... http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1222708/ I say we dance under the moonlightUntil we get the moves just right'Cause I've been thinking and dreaming, and hoping and singing of you.So come out onto the patio We'll glide across the barrioThe hopes and the fears, collective tears won't matter it's true.'Cause I'm running for miles I'm.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1222705/ You remind me of warm summer rain. The faint whistling of a passing train. These city lights burn so bright. The light's in my eyes, tonight, tonight.I'd wonder where you're laying your head.Somewhere warm, or much colder instead. It's a tragedy, an unmentionable shame. I ru.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1215155/ I know you never saw the insideOf my house, only stood outside.Like my heart, breaks in 4/4 time.While I'm out, going outta my mind.And I shake, as I feel you shiver.The rain, makes your body quiver.I'm a joke, hoping something happens.Love notes, lies on little napkins. But I'd pray, that the .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1212432/ And I will say what killed me the most was not the way you walked away.But with the ease you had when you said you'd carry me.I saw a chip of a tooth and a tear in your eyes.I saw a broken ghost laid down on his side.Took all of my strength not to call out His name. Giving all of my pain to the.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1211993/ Walk in the room turn the lights down real low.Start to pull off your dress, real slow. Remember the way the light looked in his eyes. Remember the sound of another broken prize.Bend and curve to your heart's desire. Feed the flame of the growing fire. Remember the taste of the i.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1211485/ I saw you pick up that book, and I thought for a second.That it could be me that you're second guessing.But I pushed it away with admirable waysAnd I'll keep on laughing, but baby I'm stressing.Tonight I see all that we're going through. And I'll pray to a God I don't believe in for you.Because.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1210359/ You say it's just a few weeks, I'd say it's a year.'Cause baby, time's different, when you're not right here.You're sailing away, in this ship that you've built. I'm left to wipe up all the tears that you've spilled. I feel lonely and weak, as I struggle for breath. Quote me lonely an.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1205064/ A tiny diamond on your locket Eyeballs roll around their socketsTonight I'm guessing you're gonna be undressingI'd take the time for you now, sheltered not a clue nowI'd breathe in hope I'm praying, I only hear you saying You love, me Oh you love, meA tiny bird on the carOh god he whi.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1201586/ I spent a long while wondering.If I knew a girl to wear my ring.Safe to say, all I have is you.I spent some time in the ever greens.Hoping you would come with me.Ever after never felt so true. I spent a bit remembering.The time I told you everything.Oh honey, my favorite color's blue. I ca.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1200509/ Well God damnI'd write another song for a girl. And you'd take it in your veins.A clumsy heroin for my heroineI'd let my words go to waste. The diamonds in your eyes Tell a story of a time long gone tonight.And I'll be waiting for your call, waiting for the fallThe leaves would burn, .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1200304/ So I said"Maybe I'm better off deadMaybe the skies will swallow everythingAnd you would take my ring."And I thoughtWell I could just give this a shot.Write a song a day that you're away, my love.But would it be enough.I'd guessThis is your venomous distress callYou're bleeding water through the hull.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1200299/ I rode this road in silence. Picture perfect quiet violence.A note hangs discreetly. Forever it is chasing me.I thought for times about you. Regurgitate the thoughts through. I'm speaking slowly, laughter. Of a happy ever after. I'm broke down on the street. Waitin.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1199313/ I mean, it speaks for itself. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1198297/ So just sit on your couch as the rain drops hit the floor. And I'll anxiously await another closing of a door.I don't expect a window to open up, no, no, no.I just expect to be kept up all night with the thought of what I'm dreaming of.So wait for the sickly sweet parasites to crawl into your b.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1195426/ Talk about your humanity. All I see is calamity.Bridges burn and people die.For a fairy tale high in the sky.A visionary could come and say.We need to go our separate ways.You would not care and you would not go.You'll all pick and bleed until you hurt the most.We are just wandering through thi.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1194113/ My pen hit the paper so hard.The letters jumped and fell apart.I was sick going mad with impatience.Broken down on the side of the pavement.Help wouldn't come in the form of a tow truck.But a storm from the Midwest a sign of my luck.I needed a breath to help my lungs remember,What relief felt like, .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1189541/ We were taught to read the eclipses, and hide from eclipses.So we barricade ourselves in the deep, dark corners.Whispering slightly, still trying to hold onto our humanity.We were warned that our eyes would become corrupted.And only the saints would find a way to lead the sinners.Calling out loudly .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1189521/ Where do you go when the music's so slow.And it doesn't bring that calming feeling.When eating becomes a challenge,Like trying to stop the world from turning.Where do you go when life passes by.And you run out of time.Come home, it's where we are.Come home, lay in my arms.Come back, it's never been .. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1189515/ Typically I would be more bluntSoto say I love you would be a cheapLie.Butinstead I would go on furtherAndtalk about the way the

http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1188730/ I think that the doctors might lie. To shield what has become dark.From that cold, cold light.These pills could do wonders.But you will soon discover.That medication fights.Play that piano, hear the notes sing.You remind me of a flower in spring.Or the strings that play in a song.That lasts muc.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1188729/ It was winter and he went to school.Candy canes adorned the halls.And children called for Santa.It was spring and she went to school.Flower petals spread out on the ground.And the Easter Bunny brought candy.It was autumn and he roamed about.Masks and bags littered the streets.And the feast began, tu.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1188324/ I've been beating up my shadow.He's the only one who talks to me, it's true.When everything is a dull deep shade of blue.I've been racing down the track in my mind.But it's a superficial, hard waste of a time.When all you'd think is real.Is just another thing you'd steal.Oh, I know that things can't.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1187921/ Danny boy set sail to sea, and set sea to sail.Decided it was time to go out, tell his tale.Rode toward the stars and made it halfwayWhen he realized he was just wasting his day.Tried to turn around but the ship wouldn't steer.Smiled to the sky, gave God a willing sneer.Set that ship on fire, set it.. http://slow.writerscafe.org/writing/JamesWells/1184251/ Tell me if what you see is the same as what I see.I see seas and shining stars, trolley cars, and what's in between.Candy cane, sugar cane, and all sorta of traffic lanes. Love that falls apart to grow again, a healing type of medicine.An ocean that spans a billion deserts, a bird with every vi..
