In retrospect, it wasn't the wisest final sentence to yell at my boyfriend as I kicked him out of the flat: "If I ever see you or that…" I floundered for the right word, "hussy again, I'll kill you both." The front door slammed behind him, a whirlwind of disturbed particles danced in his wake, illuminated by the nearby desk lamp. They began to settle as his footsteps receded, my shaking hand pressed hard against the back...
“You think it’s okay?” Abigail asked tentatively. Emma held up the phone and began to read aloud. “‘Dearest Troy’ – Dearest was a nice touch – ‘I’m so happy for you getting your dream job! That’s quite an achievement – you should have a big celebration. The thing is, Troy... I don’t want to hold you back. You need to be free, and deserve someone just as supportive of your aspirations as you’ve been of mine.’ “Supportive?”...
We walked a path togetherThrough the sunshine and the shadeOver mountain tops and valleysThrough the forest and the glade.At times the path was easyAnd warm rays lit our tracksLaughter flowed like musicThe wind pushed upon our backs.Other times were much harderStorms and blizzards slowed our wayBut worse, our own mistakesIncluding my ownNear drowned us in dismay.But we marched on through itWith grit and a smileWith forgiv...
"What are you doing?" She asked as his eyes scanned over her face."Examining your flaws," he said."What do you mean?""They weren't there before."
“I will gladly endure pain after pain after pain if it means being happy in the end. Unless of course, it kills me, in which case I have not earned that happiness.” “That’s the definition of insanity you know.”“We’ve already established that I’m insane.” This was taken from a recent conversation I had with my best friend, who is going through a breakup with her boyfriend of 3 months. I’m…in the same situation as her, hear...
Your words chilled my soulAs you looked at me with heartless eyesAnd told me we were doneGrudgingly I said my goodbyesAnd tried to move onTrying to rid my mind of youAll those times I criedAnd thought that maybe if I changedOur relationship could be revivedI was left behindBut I didn't realise then that it was a good thingYou were so impossibleAnd even I knew back then that it was doomed from the startBut perhaps that is...
Ironically, the last time I saw Emma was our Independence Day party. She was missing when the fireworks started, and I found her upstairs, packing.“Whats up?” I asked.“I’m leaving until you figure yourself out,” she said. “You’re drunk all the time.”Rockets boomed and crackled outside, the sky shimmering bright through the blinds. “We’re missing the fireworks,” I said.She searched my eyes, tears sliding down her cheeks.“Y...
The Letter (Sung to whatever tune fits your mood) Hello. How are you? I’m doing fine. I always start my letters to you with this same lame line. Then I go on with, “Is your family doing well? Or some other bullshit like that, Instead of wishing them in hell. Am I being bitter? No! I don’t think so. You took my heart and chewed it up, So how low can I really go? You said let us still be friends, And then took all that I ow...
Through silence, we drift apartNothing to grow the connection of our heartsThough we were once intimateI fear the gap between us can never be metI hesitate to cut all ties, to finally say goodbyeThough I search the depths of my soulThe answers I seek I still don't knowMy thoughts drift back to long agoTo times, I cherish within my soulBut that was yesterday, the pastA point which we moved away from fastWe both try to hold...
I saw you you claimed me That night was the start In the moment I met you I gave you my heart Ours was a true Love Born pure sweet and new And so my young footsteps Were following you We strolled through your woodland You gave me your hand And walked me through Life So that I'd understand You taught me so much I thought we'd never part As flowers catch the sun So I caught your heart Beautifully graceful Bra...
I wish it could be different, I wish there was another way, If only for the sake of your children, I would have liked to stay. I came into your life a few years back, When you were looking for a man, I’ve tried to help anyway I could, But I’ve done all that I can. Your kids took to me from the start, And they always called me ‘Dad.’ You even told me more than once, That I was the best they ever had. But you just used me f...
If I was still your friend, I would be so proud of you right this second. If I was still your friend, you would not quite understand why, but accept it quietly, like you did everything else about me. If I was still your friend, I would greet you every morning, smile, stick out an arm and wrap it around your shoulders.If I was still your friend, you would smile back and tell me about your day. If I was still your friend, I...
We walked the lonely street Our feet keeping the beat Of a song not sung, of a word not said I walked in front, yet you led. We traveled over grass, pavement, and sea Swam the mighty channel in 1963 There was always something left to do Something left for me and for you. Time passed slowly, then quickly, then too fast Ah, how I wished those times could last When you and I were still one One being running under the sun. Bu...
Home alone, once again. You’re not here To hold me, Comfort me, Lay in bed with me. Why did we break up? I miss the weekends We spent all day In bed, cuddling, Kissing, Touching. I remember the First day you said I love you To me. I was on cloud nine That day. When we broke up, I became depressed, Went back to My old habits. I really need you Right now. Please? It’s raining in my life, And I’m drowning In my tears. Come b...
All the trust we’ve built together,Bonds developed from the start,Have somehow been ripped in two,Like you ripped apart my heart.Funny how you think you know someone,Because you lie beside them in bed,But it’s only their words you’ll ever hear,Not what goes on inside their head.Now you tell me you want to leave,With barely a spoken goodbye,Taking your things and walking out,And I’m left to wonder why.Haven’t I been good t...
