I felt the cold gun press against my forehead. Her eyes were black as night like the outfit she wore. I glanced down to see the red cross insigna on her jacket.
I sighed and made eye contact,”Cross Clan doesn’t know when to stop the bloodshed…”
She smirked, “Cross Clan doesn’t know I’m here.”Clearly, I was the target she had her sights set on from the time she could crawl.
“Remember when Kni...
“I think you’ve had quite enough to eat, Luke,” mother smiled gently and wiped his mouth.
He looked around at the dinner table and saw that she hadn’t eaten anything yet. He was still trying not to think about it too much, but she was trying so hard to keep him awake. After all, he had been sleeping all morning and was just laying down for the last hour before the sun came up.
Now he looked at ...
They say that you can get as high as you like
But that doesn’t cover up what bites
The bruises on your skin are paper thin
Don’t avert your eyes from me
We used to be friends
I can tell that you wage war within
Hiding from me now like you do with everyone else
And I missed your text today
I guess life isn’t as fair as they say
Let it all out it’s okay
The emotional damage is only temporary
I know...
What’s a house without a home
I’m no stranger until you said so
This downpours got me thinking
I’d rather have you walk me home
These city lights can’t guide me
Like my Shepherd directs His sheep
So I’ll just quit thinking while you’re standing next to me
Because if I knew any better
We weren’t meant to bare this weather
So let’s share your umbrella because that’s what Good Samaritans do
The next...
“Did you really think we were nothing more than friends?” his eyes glanced down at her lips, trembling from the cold. Her mind whirled with thoughts as she looked into his eyes. Did she think of him as more than a friend? Her heart fluttered with excitement at the very thought of it being true. They had to be. Right? He leaned down closer to her eye level.
“So?” he said. His hot breath wafting t...
Yet I stand here, holding your hand
Yet your hand is not holding mine
Yet your mind is elsewhere on the job
Yet your job can replace you in one day
Yet one day your mind will wonder where I went
Yet I wonder if we should divorce
Yet divorce is not the answer
Yet the answer to this problem is you
Yet you also stand here with me
Yet we still need to make our marriage work...
My grandmother always told me
That when someone dies
Think of it like they’re stepping next door into Heaven
It’s okay to cry because they are at peace
Try not to grieve the tragedy
Of my friend who passed way too soon
Leaving behind the biggest smile I ever knew
And her larger than life personality
Will be missed
Like the call I placed a couple years ago
Checking in to see how life treated her...
Lily looked at her older brother for guidance on days like today. He was in his sixth year of boxing. He was hopping around inside the boxing ring training for a huge competition on Saturday. She looked up at him admiringly, “Joel, can you please demonstrate that punch one more time?”
He rolled his eyes. “Fine, but only for you,” he smirked. After the millionth time that he demonstrated it he’d ...
I didn’t think mere blood could solve our problems, but you did.
I didn’t think our thoughts could manifest into reality, but you did.
I didn’t think we’d be standing here doing a seance, but we did.
I didn’t think I’d see your long lost sister, but we did.
Now I see her everywhere we go.
Now I hear her calling my name echoing in my ear, not looking for you at all.
Now I wonder how she died of si...
