The ocean reaching my feet
The breeze running through my hair
the quietness of nature
I sit and think
about everything
about my family
my friends
my worries
and my joys
As the tide rises up
it carries those thoughts away
into the vast ocean
I am left with myself
my thoughts emptied out into the sea
as the sun sets
I take a deep breath
and I close my eyes
letting the breeze carry me away
as I d...
“I’m sorry” I say
My voice cracking
Pursing my lips
trying to hold back the tears that well up
I look at him
His face of disgust at me
He never truly cared did he
He never showed any love
Never cared enough to talk to me
And never cared enough to comfort me as I apologize on the verge of tears that he would never care to notice
“I’m sorry” She says
Her voice shaking as though holding back a l...
Everyday seems the same
The same movements
The same actions
It never seems to change
Even when I see the light
Hoping for a change
The light becomes dim
and fades
Everyday feels the same
The same empty feeling
The bottom bottomless pit
That can never be satisfied
Filled with things that might give a hope
Might help feel that high if satisfaction
But just leave me more empty than I was before...
The blood dripped slowly on the ground
It formed a crimson puddle where we stood
Her breath became rigged
More so than the edges of the knife
She stared at me
Her eyes full of life
Slowly fading
The tears from her eyes slowly fell from her eyes
Just as slowly as the blood edged up the knife
The time paused
As I realize what I had done
It was a unique experience
For time had never passed so slowly...
I must confess
I must confess for those who will hear
For I have kept such a secret to myself
For I must share this secret
Many hide behind lies and a mask
Many take such secrets to the grave
Those of who do such things
Those of who keep such secrets
Must pay the price
Must hold such a burden for the secrets they hold
I do not wish to pay that price
I do not wish to keep my secrets hidden ...
“I love you, I truly do” such words spoken like a poem
as she spoke those words
the world beneath her shattered
those words spoken full of sorrow
were the last words to be heard from her
as she took her final breath
(Note: I do realize the prompt is for more light-hearted things, however I prefer to write sadder stuff when it comes to poems.)...
Why me, she thought while brushing her hands against the thin needles of the pine tree. She had never done anything could have possibly led to this, and yet it still happened. She then looked back setting her gaze upon the burning house. The fire crackled and slowly rose. It was beautiful to her, but she didn’t have time to think of that. The estate was all she ever had, she never knew her family....
