I Saw A Piece of Heaven

Dalin

Mel grinned at Kelly. “See — isn’t he great?!” she gushed excitedly. “I know you don’t like the idea of dating anyone who’s not your destined, but didn’t I _tell_ you Benji is just adorable? You two would be just the perfect couple! Don’t you just want to give him a _chance, _now that you’ve met him, Kells?”


Kelly remained silent, her eyes blankly glued to the calandar behind Mel’s head.


Mel’s g...

Under My Skin

Dalin

1 min read

Buzzing and biting

Begging to be let out

Boiling and scratching

Under my skin

No matter what I do

The door stays firmly shut.


I snarl, behind a smooth and calm facade.

I growl, as my words come out sweet and diplomatic.

I smile, but behind my eyes,

A million ways to ruin your life fly past.

You’re lucky for my discipline,

You’re lucky for my kindness,

Because everytime you wrong me-

Everytime you...

Ego

I wrote this pretty quickly, and a lot of the words in this were new to me (I overused Google big time). If you see any mistakes or notice anything that can be improved, definitely let me know!

“I possess a substantial capacity for English in both its recorded and verbalized configurations,“ I said confidently.


Erik Franklin blinked and stared at me for a long moment, before he scribbled s...

Early Riser

Dalin

1 min read

I never was an early riser.

As the birds catch the worms,

I’m still caught in my slumber.


The sun rises, heating the air.

As I sleep, the ice melts:

Everyone else gets quite a scare.


Loud sounds echo. The sounds of war.

As screams ring out,

I only snore.


I wake up and the world is gone.

I never saw the changes on the horizon.


I never was an early riser....

Only What’s Owed

Dalin

1 min read

He asked her why she was leaving

And for a moment she was disbelieving;

He spoke as if he’d thought about it and came up empty

But in reality, he’d provided her with plenty.


Then she reminded herself about what she’d realized

Just what about him she’d recognized:


Over the past few weeks, while he was away,

She realized he was never going to stay.

He would keep on leaving her without a trace

And ...

All For Naught

Dalin

2 min read

It doesn’t end with the line, because it got away from me and I couldn’t make it work. It was heavily inspired by it though so I’m posting it under the prompt anyway.


Anyway, this isn’t my best work, but better to post something than nothing! Here it is

No Other Way

Dalin

1 min read

No one had ever managed such a feat before.

Never before had there been a person like him.


Not that he seemed particularly extraordinary. Neither his name nor his appearance seemed anything other than generic, average, mediocre - if he was special, it was only in how completely, utterly, /plainly/ ordinary he was in every way.


Nobody expected it, and perhaps that’s why it happened how it did. No...

Retrieval

Dalin

1 min read

Why did it take her?


I look for any sign.


I couldn’t find anything anywhere.


She may be truly gone.


After all this, there’s nothing.


Not a single thing left.


I don’t want to believe.


But the trail’s gone cold.


I won’t get her back....

I’m here

Wondering why

Chaos is surrounding

Me, Yet I’m not involved in it

At all...
