He put his heart in her hand

She poured it out like it was sand

When he left her because he must

He said she shattered his trust

She thought she married a winner

But found out he was just a sinner

He asked her why she made such a fuss

She replied you shattered my trust

She tried to do the right thing

But got tripped up by a sting

She told herself to just give up

It was hard knowing she shattere...

My memories are what they are

I’ve learned what they are there for

Attitude changes my mood

I’ve learned to see good

Nothing can hurt anymore...

I arrived in September of 2020 as a small but invasive carcinoma. Though my mass was removed, I linger in her body.

I am a systemic phenomenon. I am here as long as I wish to be. I was ravaged by radiation, but that was just a skirmish against my cells. Good luck getting rid of us.

We wear her down, we cause pain. We steal the life away from her days. We’re here so get used to us. We will attack ...

I’ve been staring at my neighbor’s Halloween decorations for at least ten unblinking minutes. Those skeletons don't look cheaply made.

They seem real at first glance, which scares me.

I want to take a closer look so I walk over nonchalantly. I step on the porch carefully. I reach out to touch One of those hanging monstrosities.

They feel like real bones!

I almost scream, but my neighbor steps o...

The door to my apartment was hard to open, as the wood the jamb was made of was warped. Seasonal humidity took its toll while I spent cool days by the sea. It had been a lovely year abroad that unfortunately was now past.

I looked up at the ceiling then the walls of my living room in dismay. The cobwebs shrouded the room like a blanket. No one had even bothered to clean my place even after I asked...

Sure, I have opinions- shows I’m smart

Yeah,I’ve got feelings- I have a heart

You won't bully me- I respect myself

I won’t be used- find someone else...

I answered my boss’s call, which felt a like a summons. After the humiliating orders came to an end, I went to the break room to relax for 5 minutes.

“How do you like Miss Darling?”asked a guy who was eating a snack.

“I hate her so much!” I replied. “She’s unreasonable!” I felt close to tears.

”I wouldn’t say that out loud if I were you,” he warned. “Just try to learn her routine. This is your f...

People got out their phones

Waiting in the twilight.

Up rose the reddish orb

In the eerieness of night...

“Got your firearm?” My dad asked me, as he boarded up the window.

“Yeah,” I patted my rifle.

My sister brought our go bags and water bottles. “We’re all set. Mom is getting fuel.” She said. She also had a gun.

I cranked my emergency radio to get the news.

“Enemy troops approaching Franklin. Stay sheltered in place.” The report crackled ominously.

“When the time comes,be ready.” My dad said.

“We’...

I booked a time travel trip with lottery winnings. I was curious how my hometown would be like in 500 years into the future. Sure, it was a whim; I wondered if my house would still be standing or if I had any future relatives.

Well, the time capsule opened and I stepped out. Not bad, I thought. Nothing seemed weird, except I didn’t see anyone. I saw my house, which had been renovated and kept in g...
