Lately I have come to understand, That one of the most frustrating things, Is that I will never be able to make you see, The world In which I am found.   I can not open you to what I believe for You can not feel the wind that blows around me And you can not hear the calls of the lost souls  Your voices tell you a different Truth, who am I to say they are wrong?   It hurts to know that we will never share That momentary br...

"It's not my fault I said goodbye." ~~~ "You have to know that I'm sorry." ~~~ "He's just what I always wanted." ~~~ "He can be a little jealous." ~~~ "But he can be so sweet to me." ~~~ "I have to make it work this time." ~~~ "Yes, of course I can remember." ~~~ "This time is going to be different." ~~~ "I really shouldn't talk to you." ~~~ "He isn't violent at all!" ~~~ "He just has some trusting issues." ~~~ "I just ha...

"How do you know someone's a real friend?" "Oh, you're getting real deep now. What brought this on?" "It's one person really. We always seemed to have a good rapport." "A rapport? What's that mean?" "We got along. We enjoyed each other's company.""So, what's the problem now?" "The problem is they've closed me off." "How? What've they done?" "Well, not much. Just stopped talking to me. And they don't answer calls." "Things...

When you came into my life you automatically cheered me up  helping me to see things differently  brighter more cheerfully. You showed that although  some people just take and take  and never give anything back  not all people are like that... The laughter and kindness you share  warms my heart  but not just mine  everyone you talk to... The ability you have to teach  whilst staying so calm  showing patience and understan...

I am looking for someone to rely on an ally and you tell me I have you.I say I know, but you aren't always around. So I asked if I could have the puppy you rescued She is beautiful, loyal and ever so friendlyand I got the surprise of my life when you said "Yes." Watching as you grab her lead off the benchand then bend down and clip her lead to her collar as you whisper to her.I see her eyes flicker between us and wonder w...

When you came into my life a year ago todayYou asked me to play a song and then to dance. I gladly accepted and walked out on the floor You took me in your arms as we looked into each other’s eyes. Smiling as I remember this moment as we have done this many magical times since. But now we are closer and know so much more which makes each dance so much sweeter. Something else I remember about that day Is how our mutual fri...

My bare toes curling in warm sand Your arms around me, time unplanned To feel the impulse of your thoughts Which whisper up from depths opaque Our minds are one soft rippling lake. The impulse of a kiss arose, I hope my blush hides in shadows You notice, softly laugh and smile “I haven’t kissed you yet” you say The thought’s enough for fond display. It scares me. Squeeze. Don’t be afraid. His comfort floods, from warmth i...

Lay your beating heart by mine Cross your fingers intertwine Search your soul for hidden sign Toss the straws and fall in line. Rest hope’s head upon your bed Have no tears left to be shed Sleep not on this path we tread Read the notions left unsaid. When you tire keep it in If you stop you won’t begin Journey to yourself within Find what’s needed to fit in. When you’re wretched, when you’re sad You’ll see men in same clo...

He grabbed an incense stick and lit it,Watching the tip glowing, he remembered.It wasn’t something he wanted to remember,But it came to him. The fire. It took his family,His friends and his sanity.It left him with a fear of fire,And yet, he became an arsonist.He started fires to cope.He tried to comprehend the power,But all it led to was senseless destruction.Not just of whatever he set fires to, but him.He destroyed hims...

I read once about a girl who cut stinging words into her flesh, some flowery, a few dirty, many harsh and emotional. The book was really very good. It was titled Sharp Objects and written by a now favorite author by the name of Gillian Flynn, called so because the woman within would use any object to slice herself to safety so long as it was sharp enough. Reading the book of murders and teeth pulled out, a small town of 2...

This poem only available on Stories Space. If you are reading it elsewhere, it has been stolen.She walks the world with heavy beauty,Never seeing decadence in her curves;Eyes regard her lively, loving,In sumptuous angles ofLaughter and satinThat tie her soul in a strong-willed bowAgainst the pain that breaks her heartAnd holds her heart in sorrows pastAnd fears so present,Where words are growing and overflowingTo share he...

A cold and rainy May appears with songs.Outside the feeders wait for hungry wings.My thoughts return to past unsettled wrongs,It seems that I can never give up things. The trees are filled with buds and greening flecks.But will the cold destroy the eager bloomsOr shall we hope that life in all respectsWill once again return from winter's tombs. In just this way I dream that I may passBeyond my pain and loss that brought d...

Water glistened on the pavement. April never lied about its love for rain. But today seemed unusually humid and the fog rolled in as the clock struck five passed six. Peter cursed as the vines from the roses dug deeper into his skin. He was in the alleyway between 1st and Main, caught in a venomous patch of roses. Fatigue settled over as he drifted into a daze, blinking between darkness and light. Unaware, whispers faintl...

Is it always going to be useless? Will anyone ever really understand? Has the truth been lost in the mist of misunderstanding? Tomorrow, someone will get it.Tomorrow, someone will get me.Tomorrow, someone will know all.Tomorrow, I will not feel the futility. Until thenUntil that timeUntil they understandUntil they give succor I will continue. Go on. Make do. Never give up, never give in. One must conquer the dragon, creat...
