I cast my baitAnd wait and waitMy reflection changes, with every waveMy emotions all buried in different gravesThere say there's plenty of fish in the sea, so I surf into the sunsetPlenty of fish in the sea, so I surf the internet.I cry in the rain, as I try to refrainBut my eyes still remain, humidYou see, I once caught a mermaid.Something new to meBut the darkness in meEclipsed her light.I was a rebel; you was an angelW...

Fully dressed in make upBarely dressed in clothes.When will you wake up?And know there's more to life than a poseTequila shots after a break up,Man left you for whores.The road to success is bumpyAnd full of potholesDon't waste your life worryingAbout filters and photosThere is more to lifestyleThan hairstyle.You brag about cutting branchesAnd chasing after that money treeWhile your friends build branchesAnd extend their...

You were a hurricane draped in lightning and walking on fire. An unstoppable force, a serious threat, yet also a mesmerizing sight. My heart clenched painfully, in fright and in awe. My instincts screamed to stay away yet I found myself inching closer. As the winds tore down the trees, I remembered the time you said my name. As mountains burned, I remembered your kisses. I heard thunder in my heart in your presence. I fel...

I don't know why I did it, a moment of madness I suppose. You were just laying there, innocent, untouched and I just couldn't help myself. I had to have you! I never thought of the consequences, what would happen if I dared to touch you... No, I was out of control and now you are gone. I am so angry with myself for what I did, for my weakness and now I have to suffer the consequences of my actions. I am sorry, I truly am....

Just replace the pronouns with whatever is relevant to you, and hopefully, enjoy.  when a girl meets a boy there is a moment when they are truly equal. before biology sets in and reminds him to flex reminds her to push out her chest reminds them that they are made to fit together like puzzle pieces. nobody cares if t...

“Are you afraid of the dawn?” she asks, watching him with a half-smile on her face as he scrambles around the room, frantically pulling down the curtains. The new darkness bathes them both in soft candlelight. It smoothes out her angular lines and eases the sharpness of his jaw. But even gentle light cannot take the edge off a soul, and he grinds his teeth, while her nails tap out a nervous rhythm on her wine glass. “I’m...

I see you on his arm, You’re perfect and I’m jealous. I need you, I want you, He must come to some harm. I caught him alone, In a dark alley. One shot did it, He didn’t even moan. A little wooing and you’re mine, I can’t get enough of you. My life is finally perfect, You’re my angel, my favorite wine. Two months later you’re my bane, You nag and won’t shut up, You can’t cook, can’t clean, Spend tons to look like a queen....

You have a guy, one who lies to you, If I were him, that's something I'd never do. He cheats and flirts without any regard, I don't think putting you first should be that hard. You hate his broken promises, His ignorant ways, And the fact that with your heart he selfishly plays. I'll hold you up high, keep you happy always, And ensure that a smile on your face always stays. He keeps you locked up, while he runs free, Whil...

Days of the past slipping by. Time is running and I don't know why. Maybe it's because I caused so much pain, Or maybe it's because I'm losing you today. Only a few hours left before the night. I can't help but feel that this is the time. So much to say and no where to start. I guess I'll try tomorrow but, What if I never see the sunrise? What if I die tonight? It feels like tomorrow's never coming, And I hope it never do...

I love my wondrous life of joy, bliss and happiness  My many incredible adventures traveling the world  Meeting people of undeniable spirit, strength and charm  Witnessing the awe inspiring beauty of the natural world  I love my life, I can do nothing lessI regret my prolonged life of misery and countless sorrows  My missed opportunities because fear and doubt ruled me  Disappointing and callously hurting the people in my...

"It's not what it looks like," he said, confused at the anguished face of Doria. He had bought her a T-shirt as Christmas present that read "Lovable Friend". Perhaps she has taken it wrong because of the word "love", thought Nick. How could Nick be so unkind, thought Doria. He knows after seeing my Mommy dead in a red dress, I hate red. "You are so mean" she said, throwing the present away, leaving Nick teary-eyed. 17 yea...

"I miss you so much."I kneel on the grass and stare into the darkening horizon for a long period of time, my mind whirling, the compulsively organized file cabinets in my brain spewing memories onto the floor. I am forced to sift through them in order to find their dwelling place. I run into the memory of standing up for you to Dad. His voice pierces my heart, driving as deep as it did the first time around."No son of min...

Once their days were wine and roses, Today that love has changed.It seems that the cheating was exposed,These lovers have now become estranged.They used to love one another,But now there's sadness and lots of lies.Unfortunately, the cheating was discovered,And now my wife just sits and cries.It wasn't that I didn't love her,But, she seemed just not as caring.My mind is in a complete blur,Time together just felt overbearin...

I stood on the bridge;the hand in my pocket holding thewatch you gave me before you died.it sat there alone in its perspiringwomb. the dark was more thannight; it squeezed through mypores. the glass grinned sheepishly, like a drunken mourner, and the numbersfell about likehailstones; but it was the hands that lifted an Accusing finger. as I looked down, a darker Me thanI looked up,and made me see that it wasIwho had empti...
