Happily Ever After

So…my prompt finally made it through to you all! Here’s my take on it 🫶

A happily ever after,

Was nothing but a hoax.

His hand reached out for mine,

Except I slammed the book closed.

They had all called me crazy,

I just had to be mistook.

But one simple glance,

Was all it really took.

We danced among portals,

he showed me the stars.

I’d read of every love story,

Except one I could call ...

The Poppy

There I stood, alone and forgotten,

Wilting as if no rain had come.

In the midst of winter, I am the poppy,

The one that awaits among the snow.

They say they love me,

Yet I’ve never picked.

I bloom in hopes one day I’ll be found,

A spectacle to marvel at,

Safe and sound.

Was it the feeling of being chosen,

I’d so desperately yearned for?

Or was it the promise they could see me,

A...

I tried (wrote this in five minutes and sort of was multitasking haha) enjoy!

In the past, my grandfather would always convince me to place chess. It was an old game we played when the Earth still spun freely, enjoyed while our world was whole.

Unlike today.

Today, the world is gray and alone. Often, I wonder if it still spins despite the damage we’ve caused.

Today, we play a deadly game. ...

Greed

There was a day when the birds once soared high above, a day when the water rushed, strong, persistent, _proud_.

That was until the world began to crumble, to fall, to give in to the weight placed on its shoulders by humanity. Until the water stopped running and birdsong no longer rang out in the morning breeze.

That was when the world went to shambles, until death was a topic no longer feared...

note: I should be sleeping and it’s rly late so forgive me if it’s not uh the best…

I chose confusion and loneliness as my emotion 🫶

Does the moon ever feel lonely up in the sky?

I guess so, but it catches so many wandering eyes.

On nights where it’s clouded, when rain draws near,

The moon sits above, waiting, hoping it clears.

So do you feel lonely down on the Earth,

Waiting for someo...

The Burden Of Memory

1 min read

A memory is a blessing,

A moment in disguise,

Each thought a passing moment,

Right between your eyes.

It is a solemn escape,

The darkness in the light,

But that was what I said,

Before one kept me up at night.

Your words were like a dagger,

Sharp, smooth and cold,

For when I wished to have your heart,

It was no longer mine to hold.

You became distant,

A burden in my mind,

A cut that alway...

Note: this is a really rushed write, I plan to edit it later on!

The parts of the storyline left unknown are up to your imagination, however I plan to add more soon! Enjoy!

Never trust a survivor until you know what they did to survive.

There are words I have had yet to speak, words I have had yet to believe. Yet I must learn my lesson someday.

My wrists are bound, rope tied taut around my ...

The Dagger From Somewhere

The dusty leather bag slides carelessly across the oak table. Halting before him.

“Where the hell did you find this?!” His voice is ragged, damaged and scarred from life’s endeavors.

“Somewhere,” I fight back a smirk. “Somehow.”

“If you want your money, you will tell me the source,” he urges an answer out of me, yet no truth comes. “Or else the deal is off. All I wanted was you to bring me a ...

Forever Confined

The box is dark, its walls no more than the borders that hold me back. The air is still and suffocating, yet it is the typical ways of this confining box.

_Click. _

A little girl smiles as bright as the sun. Her eyes find mine, dazed by the swirling songs beyond my home. __

Brightness consumes. The walls are no longer, my freedom is limited yet it is simply alluring. Melodies swirl a...

Loud Silence

My steps break the silence between me and the lonely halls. The castle’s twisting corridors are complex, but to me, they are my simple home. The ball occurring downstairs was no more than a small event, I never did take any of them seriously.

But as a princess, I must eventually. I am the heiress, the future for my kingdom.

My thoughts shift back and forth, until deciding that the ball is most...
