With my breath fainting, I forced the word out of my mouth. “Why?” He looked at me w...

Marriage Pact

We said if we were single

When we reached a certain age

We would wed eachother

And we were on the same page


We never married another

And stayed friends with eachother

But we grew apart

As time went on

And we became strangers


I saw your name in the park

After our years together were done

We had not talked in awhile

But I missed your soul

I checked the sign

Hoping to reunite


Only to find a stone...

Even though you, you go out with other people are loves and I go out with other people and leave my own life we are always secret friends

The Perspective Of My Pianos

I used to have a piano that was light brown. It’s wood was worn and cracked and the seat squeaked as you sat down. It was next to the kitchen in the house I grew up in. I would get home from school, hang my backpack above the shoes and run to the piano. My mother would cook dinner in the kitchen and she would tell me songs she wanted me to play. I quit piano lessons a long time ago so I would do i...
