I am reddened by the sun
I am falling to pieces
I feel a relaxing hand, a cooling hand
I feel a soothing hand, a healing hand
I feel a gentle hand, a caring hand
I peel
I shed
I chafe
I am found on the back
I am skin
And I am burned

a maroon mass above
A multicolored floor
swims beneath your feet
Littered with rainbow colored
gum wrappers
Colorful paintings of fruit and people
provide decor for the barren
White walls though hiding underneath the paintings
lie secret alcoves
Steel grey seats and maroon walls
they are the hallways
And the hallways
stand in front of you
What is love?Love is patient, love is kind. It does not want what belongs to others. It does not brag, it is not proud. Its it not rude. It does not look out for it's own interests. It does not become angry. It does not keep track of other people's wrongs. Love is not happy with evil, but it is full of joy when the truth is spoken. It always protects, it always trusts. It always hopes, it never gives up. Love never failsWhat is love?4 years ago in Philosophical More Like This

you're much better than I'll ever be,
I'm failing at life

I regret most of my past,
I'm coping with the fact
that I can't go back,

I still don't fully understand
why you're with me in the first place,
I don't deserve anyone so beautiful,

HelplessIt was just another day in New York City. People were swearing at each other randomly and the ever-present sound of police sirens droned in the background. And there, in the midst of the commotion, sat a cardboard box. On the outside it read in scribbled black letters: Very special kitten!

If someone were to peer into inside, they would indeed spot a kitten. It was completely black with amber eyes, and such intelligence burned in those cat-eyes that it was almost eerie. This was indeed a very special kitten. But of course, not everyone saw it this way. An older man, appearing to be in his late forties, was staring down upo
What is Love?Love at first sight,What is Love?4 years ago in Free Verse More Like This
Is there such a thing?
To see someone
And love them on whim.
Can you truly love one
Who you know nought about?
Is it really possible,
Is that what love's about?
Is love beauty, is it glamour
Is it make up and hair?
Is love fickle, a mere glance
And you heart takes the air?
I do not know
What love is to you,
But to me...
Love is more than you can see.

I used to sit on the bathroom floor and whisper into the phone, never getting caught
You used to get caught all the time.

I recall that your voice used to be like honey to my ears.
And honey always tastes the sweetest on most days
Most days, I never tasted anything.

We walked home, sharing music and ideas for parties.
You suggested dark and light
Most likely for your moods.

There were bruises on your arms from all the trips and falls you went through.
I asked you if you needed help and you replied with-

Prologue
The sound of pounding footsteps slapping against the rain-covered cement split the heavy silence of a narrow alley.
Heavy breathing seemed labored as the young woman's heart pounded in her ears.
"Help!" She screamed as she came to an abrupt stop.
Dead-end.
"Please, no!" The woman whimpered as she turned around, and found herself face-to-face with a cloaked figure.
Their elongated canines glistened white in the dimly glowing streetlights.
"Shhh…" The figure hissed, stepping close to the woman, pining her between the wall and themselves.
"Please!" She cried, staring up at the figure with pleading eyes that seemed

Maid in Mansion - TGJames clutched the paper nervously, his steps small and nervous as he walked into the open mansion. The sound of his footsteps echoed through the hallways, and he swallowed, but kept going. He wondered again why he had chosen to answer the job for maid, blushing a deep red at the thought of their chosen outfit. The sound of the car driving away outside reminded him, however, and he grimaced at the thought of just how badly he needed the money.Maid in Mansion - TG3 years ago in Short Stories More Like This

The noises trapped inside my head
Prevent me from getting to bed

For the speed of time I cannot bend
I eventually will silence the pain, noises, and thoughts in my head

Wanting
We've known each other a long time
You used to be forbidden
You belonged to another
But how I longed to be with you
If only you knew of the secret fantasies
I've had of you and I, together, laughing happy and free
If you only knew of this torch I've carried for you
Maybe you wouldn't just look to me for friendship
Maybe just maybe you'd feel the same way
And you take me in your arms
Pull me close, place your lips upon mine
And we'd share that kiss I'd always dreamed about
But am I willing to risk losing you all together
If your feelings were not the same
Or will I keep this attraction I feel for you
Locked deep inside

Julia looked in the mirror at 9 AM one morning
and frowned. She was of average height for her age, with
red hair down to her neck, freckles splattered all over
her tanned face, and a mild amount of muscle which she
gained from working on her father's farm.
Just like every other day of the week, it was
time for Julia to go through her morning chores. After
getting out of bed that morning, her first job was to
add some food to the hens' trough and then take a basket
and collect the eggs from the chickens' last night's
laying. Slipping her clothes and a pair of working boots,
she grabbed the basket by
Viviter's Ruthless Years pt 5A few minutes later, he had managed to find enough dry wood for a safe fire. It wasn't easy to carry wood in his normal form, though. But he couldn't change because he might end up scaring her. Why he even cared about that, he didn't understand himself, but he just didn't want to. He went back to the cave and shook his body so the wood fell off his back. He arched his back and sighed. It was hard to get those pieces on his back, and then he had trouble keeping them there while walking. But now he just pushed the pieces inside with his head.Viviter's Ruthless Years pt 53 years ago in Introductions & Chapters More Like This

A Ring On My Fifth Finger
The decaying soil writhed under my grasp,
Burning unto my pale skin,
Devouring the gore,
As if still uncontrollably voracious.
A few feet underneath the crumbs of earth,
Lay a man I love,
Surrounded by soil,
Ever so dry, contaminated and hungry soil.
.
I traced my fingers down the graveyard stone,
Feeling the iciness of your carved name,
A name I used to doodle in the misty sky,
A name ever so beautiful,
Now carved artlessly onto a piece of rock,
Devoid of glory, respect,
Lay beneath the ever so fetid soil.

'Death is lovely as music',
You once told me.
'That is when one shall go to heaven,

I open my eyes slowly, careful not to move any other portion of my body just in case there are still golems about. I don’t think there are, but they are as good at not moving as I am, so I can never tell until it is either too late or nearly so.
Prior to my bout of unconsciousness brought on by pain my body felt but my mind did not register, a few golems had strung me up from the ceiling and had then taken it in turns to cut, burn, whip, and otherwise torture me with various of the nearest instruments. Since my wrists and ankles ha

You use to tell me
everythig would be okay
You use to hold me
and wipe my tears away
You use to
take my hand
and tell me that
you understand
everything
that I've been through
and that I could put
my trust in you
So many times you looked
into my eyes
and told me
nothing more than lies
So much bullshit
you had me believe
Like when you said
you'd never leave
And I trusted
every word you spoke
Not knowing,
it was all a joke
I don't know how
I couldn't see
that you would soon
be leaving me
I was such a fool,
I should've known
that I would always

I've never felt like this before.
I was venerable and scared, and the worst part- he knew it.
I looked into his eyes, and he into mine.
I felt a warmth spread throughout my entire body.
He put his arms around my waist and I knew I would be safe forever,
If only we could stay like this.
He slowly pulled me closer, closer, closer…
Until I could hear his slow steady breaths.
My heart was racing as I slowly fell into his embrace,
Surely he could hear it,
He should be able to feel it- my heart was pounding so hard!
Slowly and ever so gently he bent down.
Our lips met.
His lips were soft and tender,
Then his lips opened…

would you miss me again?
If I pretended to be there,
would you hold me close?
If I passed you by,
would you turn and smile?
If I started to cry,
would you stay for a while?
If I looked into your eyes
would you be tempted
to kiss my unfaithful lips?
If I ran away,
would you follow me
just to keep the bliss?
And if I were to die,
would you be my friend?
Would you love me then?
