Days had passed since Kenji and Aikasa’s painful goodbye. Until now, she couldn’t grasp the idea that they were already through. The past few nights were pure torture. She wept until she fell asleep with Kenji in her mind. People could say that she was heartless for choosing her dream over him but ironically, she did not regret every decision she had made that day. Yes, she was hurt but she didn’t regret doing it. She jus...

I wrote my obituary today. It feels strange to write that, a surreal experience to say the least. How does one take stock of his life? If it is by money and status, then I am very poor indeed. If it is by the number of his friends, then I again fail. Did I have the most toys? Take the best vacations. Drive the fanciest cars? Will people remember me in one hundred years? The answer to all of these is, no. What did I do? I...

Tick, tick tockWhy do I even own a clockTime wasted I marchThat word came backSo sad we'd been on trackAround we go againPromise you saidNo not that wordOmissions I heardWasted chances drainedWhat did you gainNow I'm left pieces apartWords, just nonsenseMy hearts wrenchedNoises from your lipsSecrets destroy usForgetting you sayFaulty memory a plusDo you really thinkThat I would careWe've been through our shareYour life, h...

Blindly I refuse to see the writing on the wall as your sweet voice caresses my bruised ego. My mind won't accept the bitter truth. Old lies escape your lips disguised as a new start to our fractured lives and battered romance. I'm led into a long forgotten land where promises shine like the midday sun and kisses are sweeter than ambrosia. Old dreams are awakened from their ancient slumber and new dreams fall from your li...

I miss our time togetherNight after night, we layDreams we shared, wishing them trueI need you back, I'll do all I used to do for youEntangled in the sheets, pillows like fortsPiling on extra in the winter's coldKicking them off and giggling in the heatSocks on and off, hands, feet, cold, repeatI daydream at my desk, work crawls byTime marches on and I miss you stillThoughts drift in and out, my mind wandersI want you bac...

A special heart stopped beating And now we are apart But the flame of your life Still burns within our hearts Forever it will I made a promise that's true In my speech, at your funeral That I would ensure we all remember you A promise I gave And will fulfil I promised I would And I will I will remind them all, the stories you told When you attended Catholic School And how despite the threats of purgatory From nuns you sti...

When Amber arrived home with the pizza she found her older sister sitting at the kitchen table with her mom and almost dropped the pie. " Allison," she screamed with joy as she flew into her sister's open arms. When Amber was released she removed her coat and Allison's eyes grew wide at what was hidden underneath. Amber saw her sister's wide eyed and open mouthed stare and her happiness vanished and she suddenly felt asha...

Taking Amber by the hand, Mom led her to the room once occupied by her sister. Upon entering she flung open the closet doors to reveal that it was filled to capacity with dresses, skirts and blouses. She began to inspect the hanging clothes and sliding those that didn't meet her inspection from right to left. "Between mine and your sisters old dresses we will find you something special to wear." "Mom, its not like I don't...

Will you walk with me, we won't go far, Hold my hand, as we look at the stars. We're walking along the beach,The water is calm and in our reach. My lover gets down on his knee,My darling, I love you, will you marry me? He starts to hum and then he sings,He opens a box and slips on a ring. We start to hug and then we kiss,I'm so happy, I cannot resist. He says he'll love me all his life,He asks me to be his wife. We walk t...

Somehow, someday I remember the day we met, Your words came across the page, Filled with promises, Of somehow, someday You spoke such eloquent and caring words They touched my heart Filled with promises Of somehow, someday You were my knight, And then became my day Filled with promises, Of somehow, someday You reached my dreams, You Filled my heart, Filled with promises Of somehow, someday As time went on, We became one F...

The most vivid memory I can recall from all of my years as a truck driver was one lonely December morning, all alone on the outback – well, that's what I called it anyhow – with the wind whistling through the trees and the snow all falling around me, chains on the tires, windshield frosted over: and then her, popping out of the fog like she was an angel, lips streaked with violet, golden hair whipping around her face, and...

A promise. What is a promise? What does it mean to you? Do you make them? Do you keep them? I think we all do. We all know them. We all make them. We all keep them. But then there is those who make them, and don’t keep them. No matter the reason, they find reasons not to keep them. Sometimes it can be out of their hands, sometimes to just break the promise. I wonder why some people choose to make a promise, no matter if i...

I find myself standing here not yet gone, but forgotten. How did I get to this place and time?  I often wonder what I did. I often wonder did I make you mad. I wonder where it all went wrong. My life that once was so colorful, so full of life and love is now cold and dead. I'm not yet gone, but forgotten. There isn't anyone here to save me, but I scream for help. No one is coming; my world is just me now.  My life only ex...
