Love is Weakness

"Tell me," Anastasia ordered. "Tell me you don’t love me. Tell me it was a show."

I hesitate when I look into my wife’s blue teary eyes. How can I tell her I love her? It was only a forced marriage — not love. If my father was to see me in such a state over a woman, I don’t think I’d live to see another day.

"I don’t love you.

She lets out a small soft gasp. Her lips part and her eyes widen...

After chasing after each other for so long, it was ridiculous that it ended up so dramatic. Rain poured down as Liam walked down the alleyway home. His shoulders hunched and he just hoped his decisions wouldn’t catch up to him now....

walks through the park

you hold my hand

and i kiss you in my thoughts

our love is from the movies

it’s exciting and enhancing

your smile makes me laugh

even when i feel like crying

i like the way you cheer me up

i trust you with my life

i like the way you call me hot

hype me up

and make me miss you lots

but all of this was just a lie

i created in my mind

you never really loved me

i’ll never forget the night that we met

it stays in my head

unable to be left

you were erratic and so was our love

we ignited like a flame, meant to always be lit

but you chose to ignore its fate

and blow it out

say your goodbyes, and leave me to pout

and i’ll always be ashamed of loving you in the first place

even though you’ll never leave my brain

you’ll always always stay, it was our fate any...

My Dads 1965 Mustang, sat lonely parked in the stall

I had just got my license, and wanted to drive it all

My sister, had just got a new car from working her job

She gets to cruise, and enjoy life with her boyfriend Bob

Mom doesn’t even need, to drive since Dad has a car

She shops at the mall, and gets her hair done not far

I wanted to impress, a girl in school so I asked the Man

Please can I...

Are we truly unique, or are we mosaics of everyone we’ve ever known?

If I’m honest, I’d like to believe the latter.

I want a home like my grandma’s where there’s always a seat at the table, and no one has to wonder if they belong.

I want to cook like my mom—never asking if you’re hungry, just setting a place in front of you certain that you are.

I want to be as free as my husband always was,...

What I Couldn’t Say:

This is a delightful and charmingly heartwarming story of a romance-to-be if only our protagonist, John can conquer his internal doubts and let down his armor in order to let Landon in. It’s a novel of discovery and a search for “the truth of who they are”. Sometimes it touched to close to home as if the writer was describing my inner doubts. However, I found it an enjoyable...

What Couldn’t Say

(Chapter 1)

The first day of high school was supposed to feel bigger.  More exciting. More terrifying.  Instead, it just felt...loud.

I tightened the straps of my backpack and kept my head down as I crossed the courtyard, dodging kids who already had someone to talk to and laugh with. Somewhere near the front steps, a group of volleyball players were goofing off, tossing a ball back and forth li...

"I broke my rules for you." I stare at her.

Valencia avoids my gaze. "I know," she replies softly.

"I told myself over and over again that I wouldn’t let anything distract me from protecting the princess and then I do get distracted — by you. The one person I should have been protecting her from. Her assassin."

She swallows and looks up at me with those large green eyes that drawed me in the...

Part of her looks were like glass and part were like rough sand. Blonde haired curled around her fingers when she twirled it. Her frame was pretty and just the right size. Ochre locks were not the only thing that fell upon her face. She had several piercings. Her nose featured a shining pink stud, her eyebrows a blue ring, several up and down her ears, and a Monroe on her upper lip. Drinking was o...
