Song I Love

M.A.D. Works

I absolutely love this song and can not get enough of its vocals by Amy Lee but the instrumentals are amazing as well.

“Hi-Lo”

I don’t know your heart
I don’t know where to begin
But I could feel you erasing the rivers I’d drawn in
The more I stood still
The faster you were running
You don’t know how it feels crawling under your skin
So far, so far away
Don’t you know we could be

High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you

I can’t be your friend
Hold your hand while you bleed

There’s nothing left to give you
Nothing more I need
Time to let it sleep
Oh, the damage was real
But nothing cut me so deep I could not heal

Don’t you know we could be
High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you, but I never forgot you

High or low
You never fell beneath me
And I gave up on you
But I never forgot

Commentary

JusJoJan- Rubbish

M.A.D. Works
Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 13th, 2026

Rubbish is such a great word—it makes even the most annoying stuff sound a little bit funny. Whether you’re talking about nonsense, a pile of clutter, or just a bad day, calling it rubbish somehow makes it easier to handle. Sometimes you just have to laugh and toss the rubbish aside!

Coupon

Coupon

Clipping to save money, not time
Over‑priced items causing a money shortage
Under‑paid individuals struggling
Pinching pennies like it’s a competitive sport
Only to watch prices jump again tomorrow
Not that anyone raising them seems concerned

Distance

M.A.D. Works
Distance

Distance is needed,
like air between notes of a song—
space to breathe, to grow strong.
It’s the quiet pause after laughter,
the gentle hush before dawn.

Distance is needed,
not absence, but room for the heart
to remember why it belongs.
With time and space, love deepens—
like roots stretching underground,
reaching for water, reaching for light,
returning, always, to where it feels right.

Poetry

Essence of Love

M.A.D. Works


Affection of longing is what I hold dearly
Bonding over many things in common
Cuddling offers comfort
Devotion to one another without changing who we are
Elevated heart rate whenever you are near
Falling deeply for the one who doesn’t want to change you
Giving you space when you need it
Honoring each other
Interest aligns in every way
Journey that we will take together
Kinder spirits in most everything
Loneliness is never the case
Memories created each day
Never wondering if they truly care
Open to each other’s opinions
Patience with one another
Quiet moments cherished just as much as the loud ones
Reminders of love shown in simple gestures
Support that never wavers, even on the hardest days
Trust built through honesty, patience, and time
Understanding each other’s hearts without needing many words
Valuing the bond we’ve nurtured together
Willing to grow side by side, always
Xenial warmth shared in every embrace
Yearning for a future filled with shared dreams
Zeal for a love that continues to deepen

Laughing Along with A Limerick

Laughing Along With A Limerick

There once was a dog so polite,
Who insisted on dancing each night.
But his wiggles were bold,
And completely uncontrolled—
So the neighbors declared him a sight!

Hopeful

M.A.D. Works

Honestly, I’m thrilled to wait again,
Obviously, patience is my strongest trait.
Please, take your time — I have nothing else to do.
Every delay just fills me with sunshine.
Funny how “soon” always means “never.”
Unrealistic expectations? No, not me.
Love how hope keeps tripping me on repeat.

JusJoJan- The Chewy Conundrum

M.A.D. Works
Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 12th, 2026

A dragon once munched on a shoe-y,
Declared, “This snack is delightfully chewy!”
He gnawed and he nibbled
’Til the laces unribbled,
Then sighed, “Next time I’ll try something gooey.”

JusJoJan-Transmission

M.A.D. Works
Daily Prompt – JusJoJan the 25th, 2026

In the hush between breaths,

transmission begins—

a shimmer of thought

crossing the unseen bridge.

It hums in the wires,

it glows in the skin,

carrying more

than words can hold.

What is the standard
that you live by—
the one you preach aloud,
or the one you follow
when no one is watching.
