Forgive MeThis outcome was unpredictable,Forgive Me4 years ago in Songs & Lyrics More Like This
unaccountable,
for me undenyable,
forgive me, forgive me.
I don't know the way you feel,
but I just want you to know for you I'll always kneel.
Without you, these wounds will never heal,
so as you can see:
I burst in tears of love when you're near to me,
when it comes to you I feel nothing but apathy,
I feel that us toghether will never be,
forgive me, forgive me!
I'm sitting back here as I admire your lovely face,
can't help it, I bring you up in my mind everyday,
I love to listen to every word you say,
rejecting all those girls, then everyone thinks I'm gay,
I don't mind, everything's still ok
lifeboatA lifeboat paddled slowly toward a nonexistent shore.lifeboat3 years ago in Flash Fiction & Vignettes More Like This
The two occupants had finished their last food tin. Stranded in open water with no radio, they had just one option left.
Daggers poised, they scowled at each other ravenously. The stakes were high.
"Rock. Paper. Scissors."
Smelling blood, the sharks circled.
brilliancei thought love was dead. i went to her funeral last friday. afterwards i packed up all the colors (deep red bright yellow soft blue) in neat little labeled boxes and shelved them in the cellar, and i raised both my hands in resignation and prepared myself for the long winter night to come.brilliance4 years ago in Spiritual & Occult More Like This
so i was taken completely by surprise when unexpected rays of light peeked over the horizon: a luminescent aurora written across the sky, backlit by the sheer volume of potential electricity between us.
it's true: you and i belong together, and together we'll be the best thing this town has ever seen.
we'll dash across the concrete city, dodging thirteen
Every Word I WriteEvery Word I Write4 years ago in Fantasy More Like This
I sat at my desk, looking blankly at the words on the page.
"She looked up at him, and they smiled."
I cried.
Those were the last words she ever wrote.
***
I guess she and I weren't serious writers to start off with. She was an energetic Year 11 with a passion for art, and I was a senior with a love for photography. We talked a little at school, but we never let seriousness get in the way of our idle chit-chat. I noticed how, a month or two ago, she had left for a matter of two weeks, but she was the same person again afterwards.
It was a warm summer afternoon, and I was late for the buses. Only the West Ryde service was waiting. From
chromacideall the colors are dyingchromacide4 years ago in Open More Like This
the first rush is forever gone
and faint dreams of distant memories
are the only strands of evidence left behind
from years past when we were young
and tears were scarce
and love was bliss.
all the colors are dying
the chase proves futile now
like running around in concentric circles
that get progressively smaller and less enthusiastic
as we slowly realize our stagnancy
and our determination decays
and we give up completely.
all the colors are dead
the world is frozen white
with an icy sheen of indifference
and all the roses are dried and soaked in glycerin
to preserve their fake red petals forever
o9.you describe the worldo9.3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
as a beautiful place,
but i know better
than to believe you.
the cities are filled with
dust and pollution that clog up
my senses, and fill my nose with
the worst smells in the world.
but i guess, through it all
your voice has always been there
to guide me and show me the
way, even though i can
hear through the lies
you tell to protect me.
you talk about her all the time,
and yet i have yet to meet her.
she sounds beautiful;
i wish i could see just to see her.
but when you speak i can
sense the longing and pain
in your voice,
and i can feel your eyes resting on mine.
today you promised to take me
DearHey youDear3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This
You just turned 15, so don't worry love, it's over now and your hormones will finally start to settle and you'll finally begin to see a silver lining. Well, not one, but several.
Within the next three years, your life views will change, you'll date a few boys, you'll start to finally brush your hair, and you'll have to start wearing a bra.
I know, it totally sucks.
You're gonna date a guy that thinks he respects you, but he was never respected in life, so he won't even begin to know how to respect you. He's a month older than you in earth rotations, but in his mind he's still a child. He'll treat you like his favorite t

"Only God knows."
Frigid rain cascaded from the shattered sky. A sudden flash of lightning illuminated them in a desperate embrace, fighting the furious gale all around them.
As her sorrowful eyes met his, he whispered one last farewell.
"Keep in touch."
"I'll try my best."
It wasn't enough.

He spotted me from afar and broke into a lunatic's run. I panicked. "He'll kill me." I contemplated fleeing.
Instead, he embraced me and wept.
"Father, I'm sorry--" I choked.
"Hush, child. All is forgiven."
Don't Let GoAs I scream no,Don't Let Go4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
I will not let go,
you do the same,
just so you know,
I will always remember your name.
This heartless world tries to tear us away,
and now I will say,
I will never let go,
I will hold on to you,
I will never give in....
I want to be there to wipe tears from your face,
I want to be there to brush wisps of hair away from your face and deliver you a nice, gentle kiss.
I need to be there till the very end.
I will fight to the death,
I will not give in,
I will not let go....
I will never let go....
I believe that I'm nothing without you,
I think to myself:
"Why would I give you up?"
So I will not give in...

decaythis town reeks with the stench of love gone stale:decay3 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
of decaying friendships and backstabbed
trust and cataclysmically pathogenic
rumors whispered through hushed lips and
furtive messages, giving the disseminators
a temporary illusion of superiority;
of burnt bridges and broken connections
and once-intertwined souls fraying like
overstrained rope into separate strands, diverging
because there's nothing holding them together
anymore, tangling into knotted messes of rough fibers
that would take ages to sort out again;
of missed opportunities and storybook romances that
could have been reality if the lead characters had been

Pictures of You-I want to paint a picture-Pictures of You4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
A picture on your mind.
Of swirling colors and the songs of ghosts,
All with wide, rough, and deliberate
brush strokes.
-I want to paint a picture-
A picture upon your heart.
Of yellow, black, pink, and red.
God weaving the swirls of colors into one never-ending
shimmering spider web.
-I want to paint a picture-
A picture of all the things inside your mind.
Of landscapes unseen
And blood yet to be spilled,
covering the ground in a red and black sheen.
-I want to paint a picture-
A picture of the things inside your heart.
Of emptiness, hate, pain, longing, fear, horror,
and of hope, love, strength

2 little words that meant nothing to me till now
Now they have me frozen
But I could swear I'm burning.
Time stands still and all that's left
Is my heart beating twice as fast
In the hope that it can keep both of us alive.
A Lust LetterFor the girl I want to do:A Lust Letter4 years ago in Traditional Fixed Forms More Like This
I’m writing this poem to help me out
Because I just want to get in your pants
So come on, baby, let me pick you up
And we’ll do a different kind of horizontal dance
Of course, for now I’ll act sickly sweet
And I’ll tell you that you’re all special and cute
But you won’t know until it’s too late
That you’re just a slut that I want to screw
I’ll throw in some pretty, flowery words
And tell you just what you want to hear
Talk you into going all the way
Or maybe just get a six-pack of beer
Then I’ll tell you you need to loosen up
But all I’ll really wa

Figure she dying slowly
Storms are coming
Her worlds about to end
Thought it was light years away
But quickly your losing

On a heavy heart
The thoughts of losing you
Would never stop
Miles away
To far apart
A gift so precious
Only love to give to
Only tears
And constant fears
Of never seeing you
But the sun rises
When you appear
Only you
Only me
And the world disappears
