The night rippled ahead of Ben and Lucy, two people destined for each other but life seems to keep getting in their way.

Ben: “The stars, can’t you see them Lucy? They’re shining extra bright tonight for a reason, and that is because I love you.”

Though Lucy is biting her insides, as a secret is killing her heart.

Lucy: “Ben, there is something that I have to tell you.”

Ben: “What is it?”

Lu...

Clouds cover the skies, rain pulls at your eyes

But nothing hurts as much as little words turned lies.

You wanted me to believe each word frailed upon your lips,

the ones that touch upon mine like lying is not what you do.

But you lie all the time to me and it covers the sun,

Where the rain threatens to pull down my cheeks.

Then they do and they leave a stream of makeup drizzle,

Because it’s settl...

An energetic shine of light,

Racing across the moors,

Begging for treats constistenly,

Gone but never forgotten.

My dog Sammy was this light,

that shone bright,

who raced across the moors,

to catch a bird in its mouth - but never did.

Sammy always had a seat at the head of the table,

Waiting for one of us to give in to put a treat down,

But none of us ever did.

None of us realised that one day,

it...

The key they’d given me still fit the lock, but the house no longer felt like home. It’s just a house now that is made of bricks, a foundation of concrete instead of love like I thought it would always be. There are cracks within those bricks making the foundation no longer strong, so the building will collapse one day and I will wait for that day. I will wait to hear those bricks fall down while ...

*** this is another extract from my work in progress: A Heart Within (previous name: A Heart in A Storm) and this is in Silas’s point of view about a significant event that has just happened before, which I’m sure you will be able to guess. This extract links to the prompt, so I hope you enjoy reading this :) ***

The rooms and hallway are quiet, where I roam trying to find my way racing between b...

*** Below is an extract somewhere along the book I am writing called A Heart Within (previous name was: A Heart in a Storm) following a Prince of the Hailington Kingdom called Silas and a Princess from the Andorra Kingdom called Luna. This extract will be edited as my book is in first person, but chose to write this in third person to have more of an effect. Hope you enjoy :) ***

As the darknes...

I’ve created a monster within me

I can feel it’s roar within my veins

And I look at the mirror seeing someone I don’t know

Those blue eyes don’t belong to me

And that smile no longer feels the same

Because I’ve killed myself to stop me from hurting

That pain I felt has now made me stronger

Made me believe that I deserve bad things

Maybe I do, maybe I do, and I will keep believing that

Since I’ve c...

She was the most adored girl in the room; all eyes were fixed on her as she waltzed elegantly across the floor. Little did they know the dark secret she was hiding. Her auburn silky hair flowed down to her waist and bounced around, it didn’t look like a mess because she was able to keep herself together. Her ocean eyes were dilated to make it seem to everyone like she was in love _- but really she...

Heavy rain, cracked windows, and a forgotten song.

Tears dropping, smashed glass, and a broken heart.

My ears can no longer hear the whispers of my own breath.

My feelings can no longer touch upon the word happy.

Waves crashing, cracked mirrors, and a sad smile.

Water drowning, smashed stones, and a tore world.

My eyes can no longer see a world of colour so bright.

My hands can no longer reach fo...

**Retracing my thoughts, I knew I should’ve asked for her name to see how easily it can slip off my mouth - whatever it is. Looking at the sky before me gives me slight reminiscence of my mother, if she was here she would tell me to run after her because true love comes only once in a lifetime. Instead, I stay here thinking about what could’ve been dancing with her. Those sweet eyes looking into m...
