It’s hard to be inconspicuous when you’re hanging upside down.
I watched their wicked faces contort with laughter. Some of them were doubled over in tears. I tried fruitlessly to pull myself upright. This was supposed to be a private practice. I was gonna show them…
But no, of course not. How could I believe that I, the anemic girl who could only afford wash her hair and clothes once a week, wo...
Long, grey scuff marks marred the white leather that surrounded the patterned, dull beige canvas. The canvas itself was littered with faded, light pink watermelon slices, half rubbed away inside deep, permanent crinkles. The matching laces, both frayed and one missing its aglet, spewed dust into the air under the friction of her tightly lacing them up. The brown rubber soles were mainly rubbed smo...
We ran aground when we hit the estuary. Captain Mead’s eyes widened as the ship crashed into the shallow rocks at the mouth of the river. I turned away to hide my disdain.
I had opposed the decision to head north, but he had overruled me. He was stubborn, and his pride had now left us all stranded at god knows where. I had tried to get the crew on my side before we departed Port Nolte. I had exp...
Latch onto your chest
Drape my legs across your lap
So you know I’m yours
Butterfly kisses
I trace from your jaw to ear
Whisper “I want you”
My vanilla scent
Overwhelms your self-control
Turns your eyes to black
You spin me around
Forget uneaten pizza
Trade for salty skin
No past and future
Surrounded by fairy lights
I only see you...
I watched as the beautiful, brunette woman calmly pressed one black stiletto onto the gas pedal. Her facial expression was one of nonchalant determination. There was no evidence of any nerves on her part, whereas my brow dripped anxious sweat watching her relaxed focus.
The bullzoer eased forward smoothly and soon she was turning in perfect circles, and pressing the correct buttons at the correc...
She rested her stinging cheek against the cool tiles of the bathroom wall. There was a relief, like rubbing vaseline on an open wound. She closed her eyes and heard the hum of the air filter, quickly unfogging the small space from her scalding shower.
She knew that when she opened the door, she wouldn’t see his navy blue sheets tucked neatly around his full bed, or the breathtaking view from hi...
My tears turn you on
You create them a lot
But I love the way you wipe them off
Over and over
Your caramel eyes search mine
Dance around my lips and nose
For any sign of a hole
In the armor I created for you
A place to shoot your arrow
And heal my wounds too
I feel your sting and your warmth
But the latter makes my heart beat faster
And makes me forgive you...
