Save Point

If life had a save point / 

Where would your marker be? /

A place where you can go back / try again /

With all the lessons you have learned /

Perhaps the first time you scraped your knee /

Becoming aware of physical pain / but now you know what knee-pads are /

Maybe right before your first rejection / to try again and again / 

Learn the right words to say / to avoid that crushing feeling in your chest /

A save could be the first time you fell in love /

To remember what those butterflies felt like / 

Before the heartbreak sat in / a chance to try again /

Changing the trajectory of what may have been /

My save point seems to be ever-changing /

I never know which moment / is the right moment /

The moment where everything could change /

It most likely won't / most of what I’ve known is pain /

Suppose I went back / stayed home instead of going to his house /

Would I be any different if that event never took place? /

I could go back to when I first learned the word no / 

Stand in it stronger / repeat it until it has power / 

Make it a complete sentence / I could save before I gave up /

Sitting on my bathroom floor begging for peace / 

I think that was my save point / after all, I’m still alive / 

On a different timeline / I’m no longer here /

I lost the battle with my mind / I never left that bathroom /

Yet something told me to stop / saved me from that end /

Maybe present me / picked a save point after all

 “Roses are red, violets are blue. How did I ever get so blessed to have shared my heart and soul with you?

Even though you’re no longer here with me, I promise to never stop changing the world for everyone to see. 

For our love knows no bounds not even that of life and death, that is why I’ll hold on to you until my last breath.

B For Beretta cover design. Out now, see links in bio! The mask used in the cover plays a very big role in the book itself.

Back cover text: Lucille Devereaux is an established woman in her community who leads the occult department of NOLA university with a great sense of pride towards her voodoo heritage. 

She is known by everyone as the ultimate active observer, always studying her surroundings to help her find the missing pieces that are required to solve any given puzzle. 

One night, she dreams about her dead mother, the high priestess Madame Davina, who gives her a cryptic message to visit the relatively unknown area of Deacon Valley. 

Lucille wastes no time and drives off to her destination, but what she has yet to realize, is that this journey would end up being the wildest one she's ever embarked upon. 

An absolute rollercoaster of events full of deadly twists and even more fatal turns....
