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 ...

The wishes I hold close to my heart

Many at that

Are great

For I wish for greatness

I wish for greatness to fall upon me

As though it were rain

However the rain may be more than a drizzle

for if wishes fell like rain,

then I am certainly a storm...

“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....
