Writing Prompt

I thought you were right

Turns out you are wrong

What a beautiful sight

But what a sour song

You led me to believe

But you shattered me to pieces

Our connection, I will not grieve

My heart has many creases

I’ve felt this before

It’s really nothing new

The numbness isn’t sore

I’m over it through and through...

She was my shadow as I walked

She was mysterious in all ways

It’s just that she was all my luck

Now guess what?

My luck tuned grey.

I trusted all parts of her soul

I knew that look melted my heart

It was so obvious that my heart she stole

I smiled when I was alone

And now I ask myself

Where is that part?

She covered her soul with a crust

And she ate it and left the inside

That’s when i d...

You broke me

You broke me into a million pieces and watched

as I shattered upon the floor

You held my heart in your hand and you made my life no more

To say I trusted you

would be an understatement

In a million years

In a trillion dreams

I never thought that you'd do this to me.

After everything we've been through after everything we've seen

I thought I meant more to you

but I see that you were

Who decides where peoples words lie

Is it them or is it you?

Anyway you look you don’t know what you should believe

So many things have been said and yet which ones were meant

Which ones imagined by confused people trying to be right

You cannot trust any of them

Not them,not him

Not even me

Just like the mirror sprinkled there its all the ...

Lies built upon lies.

Empty promises are leftover egg shells

Stolen cookies, rights illegally revoked

All starting at the drop of a stolen penny.

The tower of lies stands

A hungry wave waiting

The right time will strike

Before it can feast.

Unkept promises shatter hearts

The same way egg shells crack

Just a light tap and the glass breaks

A wrong move sends you falling through the ice

Cookies pi...

The things I've heard

The things you've said

The glass we shared

holding our fragmented hearts

shattered just as they did

scattering across the cold kitchen floor

The cold kitchen floor that we danced across together

now when I step on those frozen tiles

Your face with your bitter lying lips

the lips that once told me I was yours

Now you talk about me with the cruel boys

The boys we both used to g...

Trust is earned

Trust is broken

Trust is given

Trust is taken away

Out of spite

From just one night

From just one fight

From just one word

Words you say, they stick around

They linger in the back my mind

Good, bad, unspoken.

I wish that some of them would go away

The memories disappear

Vanish, in a puff of smoke

Like a magic trick

Instead I’m left to choke

On them whenever I’m feeling weak

Or sad...

As your arms wrapped around my body,

I thought to myself, what more do I need?

Feelings of love, feelings of safety consumed my body

Breaking down every rational thought I had

I heard the tone of your voice,

And every single word you said

And thought to myself,

Is this coming from the same body I hold every night?

My stomach dropped and suddenly, I lost my words

How long was I blind?

The idea o...

I am my father’s favorite daughter

I am weaker, perhaps on purpose

I am quiet,

obedience is virtue.

I do not push him off

I do not yell

Humility warms my veins

and his hands and his fingers

He caresses my hair usually

He does not for my brothers

For they push shove and scream

Unconscionable resistance

I am my father’s favorite daughter and my mothers tears

He does not love her like he loves ...
