Fruit

Strawberries or watermelon?

So I was wondering, what is your favorite story/poem/musing/etc on here? Something you think everyone else should read.

Also, what is your favorite story/poem/musing/etc that you yourself have written and would love for people to read? I mean this is the place to advertise yourself.

The one that sticks out the most for me is also one of the first stories I ever read on here. I remember reading it and thinking, 'Oh she's clever.' Now that I officially know her, I still feel the same way.

Who are you when the white-hot reality of the day shines down? When there is nowhere left to hide and I see who you are. How clever you are at hiding the truth. What is left of us now that I see you? Who are you when the shadows of deceit are stripped bare? When all the lies that you told come crashing down on me. How you managed to blind me with desire, love, and hope. What am I supposed to...

You are toxic, Stepping in and out of my life, Treating me as your own personal retreat. All consuming, Taking your fill until there is nothing left, Nothing left but an empty shell, Leaving me to heal, Leaving me to save the damage that you cause.   How do you feel? Do you see it? Has leaving me broken made you better? Stronger perhaps? Of course it has.   The destroyer of me, Eater of...

There is a battle raging inside you, It’s beating you down, Until you forget which side you’re on, You punish me with your internal war. The war, The constant tug-of-war, Causing endless battles, All between yourself, And I’m caught in the middle. The Middle, Tearing you apart, Tearing me down, Tearing us apart. The battle of do I stay or do I go? Go, Going, gone, Such a small but...

Your silence is so loud, It screams into the darkness, Flowing through my brain, Making me feel insane.   The pounding sound, Threatening to tear me down, Running through my heart, Ripping me apart.   Silence is a powerful thing, Louder than spoken words, Especially, as love dies, From all the omissions and lies.   “Speak to me,” I cry, Breaking through the darkness, I...

Whispered kisses on my cheek. A grin plays on my lips; so coy and so meek. My muscles are sore. In the heat of passion, I begged for more. I stretch my body giving you a show. You aren’t really there, but how could I know? The touching, the kissing, making love until dawn. Now come this morning you are gone. My back has gone cold. Longing to be someone you’d hold. My fingers run along...

The rhythmic, pounding bass and the horns of the Imperial March made her sit up, frantically searching for the phone in the dark. Her hand brushed against something cold, and then she heard the crashing sound of the water glass falling to the floor. “Shit,” she mumbled, as she finally wrapped her shaking hand around the phone. She was panicking that she was going to miss him. Only one person...

Are you ready to dance? Allow me to help you up, Your steps will be unsteady, Do not fret or worry, I’ll let go when you are ready. Are you ready to perform? The lights are bright, Shining in my eyes, I look to him for support, As he’s helping me to rise. Are you ready to dance? A smile upon my face, Raised on pointed toes, Taking a deep breath, My eyes begin to close. Are you...
