You don’t have to be great at something to love doing it 🖤 Writing has never been a talent of mine but it has always brought me great joy. Most of my writing here are ones I do rather quickly as a daily exercise for practice.

A New Age (chapter title)

Lex

1 min read

In contrast to the enduring cold, this comforting warmth scorched my skin. Prickles ascended my limbs as the fog rolled out—simultaneously slow and all too fast. Finally landing on my face and setting me aflame after centuries of darkness.

I could almost smell the warming air. The stone heating quicky under this intense new glare.

Something shifted in that moment.

A wave of fear overcame me as I...

Wasted (chapter title)

Lex

1 min read

My first was a waste. So, despite this choking anxiety burning my throat, I’m determined not to waste another. Having only two lies left at the age of twenty eight is not ideal for someone in my unique circumstance.

Alas, I was never a cautious child.

Never obedient enough to heed my mother’s constant warnings:

“Honesty is a virtue, Silas.” or “Save them for the storms, Silas." whenever I asked...

All of the Love I Need

Lex

1 min read

A breeze touches my cheek like a kiss, the sun envelopes me in warmth, golden arms wrapped around me.

I have all of the love I need right here.

Gleeful laughs slip from my lips as soft grass tickles my calves. Flower petals stain my palms as we hold hands.

I have all of the love I need right here.

The rustling leaves sing me their secrets, and I whisper mine back to the trees. No truer friend ...

Gemini

Two go in, and one comes out. A dark embrace to soothe your mother's doubt.

Your father's disapproval, because children must behave.

Two go in, and one comes out. There are two sides of you, one we never talk about.

Part of you whimsy, part of you rage-Good girls would never behave this way.

Two go in, and one comes out. Kill the one we could do without....

Doors Of Possibility

Lex

1 min read

I can never know if this path is an entry or an exit. So all I can do is prepare for both.

The slam rings heavy in my ears, rings heavy in my heart, with the weight of closure.

Cold knobs, warm wood, contradictions like myself.

I walk over their thresholds , the way you walk over me. I say hello and goodbye at the same time, part of me ahead and a part behind. Only some of these doors have lock...

Soft Love

Lex

Cold crescent peeks at me

From under the darkest blanket

Soft. The clouds that cover you.

Soft. The dirt that covers me.

Soft. Your kiss that awakens me

And then your light shines wide and full

We reach for each other

Finally. This stretch feels delicious

I always unfold for you....

Your Fault

Lex

1 min read

I feel my throat closing with each word that I read. I am unraveling at the seams. I wish I could stop now, I don’t want to finish the message that I know I can’t unsee. But it has already begun, and ignoring it won’t change.

So with my stomach in knots, I involuntarily let my eyes continue the torturous journey through your crime. You are a killer now, the me before this moment is dead....

Secret Keeper

Lex

1 min read

She wants to know his secret. He hasn’t decided what it is yet.

It isn't that he doesn't want to tell her, it is only that he is a secret to himself. He's been trying to figure it out longer than anyone, so who is she to demand answers?

But damn, if he doesn't want to give her answers.

He would spill every secret he has, in quiet whispers against her skin. In a scream that burns his throat.

Fire In The Sky

Fading warmth kisses the sky goodbye

A day of shining // blinding eyes

_Rays of hope will always die_

But again they will rise // brighter than the last

The fire grows hotter each time that it tries

To swallow the earth // one day it might just do it right

_Rays of hope will always _die...

Born of the Shadows

Lex

1 min read

Even the wolves don’t come out at night because they’re afraid of what hides in the shadows: being banished here is worse than a death sentence.

It creeps in on you slowly, the loneliness.

Not lonely in the sense that you have ever felt before. A loneliness that you feel in your bones, breaking you slowly from the inside out. The darkness, so deeply saturating your soul that you can no longer te...
