Cold and dark

How it always is

Yet in the corner of my eye is a star

Alone and pining

Sitting, crying

And yet she shines so far.

I sit by her,

And ask what’s wrong

She tells me about her favorite song

How it broke apart and left her

How I wish I never met her.

She goes away a final time

Dancing in the dark

I look up, the glow has ended.

Yet another day for a broken heart....

We’ve come so far

You’ve chased this star

And I was chasing you

I hold your words

You hold my heart

But I will fall apart

The story ends

You say goodbye

But I’ll flip to the start...

I awoke not with a bang, nor a whimper, but a long steaming tongue scraping its way up the side of my face.

I wish I could say I was used to it, but fear always grips me when it happens.

The creature loomed over me, and I shook. Its ragged claw dragged along my arm, and its breath grew heavier over my own, despite the agonizing cuts this scratch was creating.

“I love you,” it gargled.

“Just sit do...

Is this how it feels?

I sit alone

In my thoughts

Smiling to the one I love

I’ve waited for him so

but it seems he has to go.

So I lie

Stripped down yet sweating

And pick up that five eighty page story.

Yet despite the rain

I hear the TV, noisy as can be.

I have to stay, though. There’s light.

Hands scramble to smooth out the dog ears

Of these pages, so new.

It’s time to hide.

Return to my foster ...

An awful loss

That I have encountered

I've searched everywhere

but nowhere have I found her

She's the kind that I admire

no other type do I desire

I sink in despair

comes true, my fear

my mechanical pencil

is no longer here...

After years and years

The stain will fade

And I just can’t believe it

He reached out His hand

and I took that plan

And day by day,

relief fills me.

I feel the water

Admit what I’ve done

A recovering child of the Son....

As I drudged through the snow, my vision deteriorated. Blinking and squinting, I kept going on. Couldn’t I go just a bit further? Despair drew closer, but I kept fighting. Even though my bones ached, I persevered like Lightning in the storm.

For hours on end, the darkness grew in the morning. Going on, I would not give up. However many steps I had taken, I could not count.

Hope was my best friend ...

Gliding through the open currents

Slim and sleek

With a face so meek,

You surprise unsuspecting prey

With that great tail

They cannot wail

As it slaps them all away!...

After a long day of work, I stumbled into the living room to find this sanctuary.

The sanctuary had a texture like that of clouds. My head brushed against its welcoming and compassionate friends as I lay down for a whimsical rest.

Oh, how I love couches....

As I wrote this, I got so sad..!

90 words.//

Empty inside, he always waits.

He is thrown into the trash can, ever so patient.

Nobody likes his pearly whites.

He has heard so much about Nobody:

How she wants him,

How she loves him,

How she needs him.

He is fascinated by Nobody, and wants to know her.

After all, she seems to know so much about him. It would only be appropriate.

She must be invisibl...
