Natalie sat next to Seth’s hospital bed and prayed. It was a long, grueling night as she waited for him to wake up. When her fiancé opened his eyes, she felt a massive sense of relief. “My time is supposed to be up before yours, so you need to stick around, pal. You promised this girl a trip down the aisle, remember?” Seth grinned weakly. “Not gonna die yet, Nat. Gotta keep my promise.” Tears escaped her eyes as she gripp...

Just a single kiss before you leave Then you pull away from him again Not noticing the hurt deep in his eyes Nor sensing disappointment and such pain All he wants to do is make love to you But you shrink away from his every touch And expect him to exist as simply roommates Which doesn’t satisfy him very much You said, "I do," but what were your intentions? Did you mean for him to live a life so chaste? Does it bother you...

I hate feeling like I was never enough. I always thought that your soul bled all over mine and we were forever intertwined.  I'm weary of begging you to love me.     I don't care how bad it hurts. You're always under my skin, it burns.  I try to move on with someone new,  my thoughts are forever on you.    I close my eyes while I'm with him. Struggling to compare him to you. But your kiss is so lethal, this is an upheaval...

I’ve been burned before My giving nature taken for granted My friendship chewed up and spit out My heart poked with holes   So, I’ve treaded more lightly this time around Perhaps wiser than before? Cautious about how much to give Holding back some of myself Maybe more than I should   You reached out and were kind But I felt vulnerable still Till you gave me a new dress And a weapon to protect myself From those who would h...

Play with my heart,tell me what I want to hear.Mention your feelings,it's OK to be insincere.I've grown to idolize the lies,and embrace the deception.It doesn't matter what you believe,when your dreams shape your perception.I've met a ton of people,but only come to know a few.I'm left to wonder,if what I think I know is true.Whatever light there was has been snuffed.All that I had to offer, given away.My appearance more t...

Ainsely had been busy these past two weeks, finishing up the courses she'd been taking at Louisville, taking exams, turning in papers, and spending every spare minute with Javon. I stayed pretty busy myself at work and doing my best to get in any time with her I could... that is when she wasn't “otherwise occupied with Javon.” She rarely had time to cook anything so I either fixed myself a sack lunch or caught something t...

CHAPTER 9: As I watched my ex-best friend across the room, he looked down, no, frustrated. If things worked the way I hoped, depending as I was on my own impromptu planning, I’d be changing that look he was wearing quite significantly. Oh yes, yes I would.I saw her come in. She was short, she was chunky, she was plain looking, and she was mine.“Okay, Jimmy, what’s all of this about? Why the tone of voice, the urgency,” sh...

The Liquid stream that fills your veinsBlood made from the water, from whence you and I came.The Blood that made our bond so deep bleeds from woundsI cannot staunch its flow; perhaps I do not wish it so.I loved you once, I still do.Although you left me with a bleeding heart, time won’t heal,I recall the hours and days, of unbridled passion that time can’t steal.On lonely days I wander my way, to the coastline.Not so many...
