I despise you,

Yet love you all the same.

I feel the thorns pierce my skin,

Yet I allow your flower to grow.

You’re the cloud I cannot grasp,

The damn anchor that’s sunk too low.

If I admitted I loved you,

Would your voice echo the phrase?

What if you told me you hated me,

Would my heart be spared the ache?

I wish I never learnt your name,

Or that you ever entered my life.

But my dear, ...

“Hey, do I look best in red, green, or blue? Anyways you know that mage Tony?”

“You look best when my eyes are closed. Now do you mean the Tony with the thing on his face or the one who stands too close when he talks?”

“Close talker, anyway my cousin is dating Tony’s daughter.”

“The one with the lopsided wings or the one with the teeth.”

“Wait did you mean my cousin or Tony’s daughter?”

The Little Things

Cole..

The little things she does with my hair,

The little things she does to make me laugh, The little things she does to make me happy. She makes me so happy and proud. She’s always there when I need her.

Her presence makes me happy,

Her smile makes me happy,

Her voice makes me happy,

She makes me happy.

Everything about her makes me happy.

She’s perfect.

Nobody is better than her.

I’m proud of her.

Meet Me In The Courtyard

Crown Of Seventy Thorns

4 min read

“Mary,

Meet me in the courtyard after school, ok?”

I read the letter in my desk, and the absence of a signature left me puzzled. Who on earth wrote this? And why?

My eyes continued to search the page for an answer, but to no avail. The letter’s author would remain anonymous… for now. I mean, I was going to figure out who it was this afternoon anyways.

Though my curiosity was all-consuming. Th...

The Boxes of Exes

kayeflayer

2 min read

Every year, as best friends, Mitch and Hazel gathered. Today was the day again. The same room and box. Smiles as they laughed and shrieked as things came out of the box, reminding them of Hazel's stupid exes, practically walking red flags. A couple of things came out once in a while, and she would look mournfully at them, then continue giggling with Mitch as sparkly bows or tacky rings came out.

The Time Thief Pt 6

The fun had been completely taken away from doing whatever I wanted.

I had already: swum in the ocean, played with the animals, cooked whatever I wanted, played pranks on Correolanus with NO REACTION, and was now bored out of my mind.

I spent most of my time on the grass, staring at the mountains above, desperately wanting to climb them.

I wanted to do _something_. I had tried multiple times to e...

How do I tell you

That I will always love you

I guess I just did!

I smell coffee

The aroma fills the air

Got was to have it black!

Cant wait for breakfast

Smell of bacon fills the air

I do love bacon!

My husband cooks good

He always makes me breakfast

Love the way he cooks

How do I tell you

That I will always love you

I guess I just did❤️...

In the midst of us

Fish zoomed past the glass, a trail of bubbles spiraling behind them. I stayed transfixed, watching a yellow tang pause, stare at me, then flinch before it darted into the abyss of the tank.

A slow smile curled onto my face. I pressed a finger to the glass. My reflection shimmered back—wild curls braided loosely, tanned skin, and dark emerald eyes staring straight at me.

But beyond my ragged ref...

Not in the end

"Zenith's dating Al" was not the text I expected to see first thing in the morning.

I nearly forgot to brush my teeth because of the hurry I was in to call back, knowing well that Audith was waiting for my response.

"Hey girl!" she picked up one ring in.

"Zenith's dating Al. Al as in Alistair Woods. That Al."

"The very one."

"Wow," was all I could see as I leaned against the couch, freshly b...
