When Will You Come Home?

I remember that night as a blur. A fateful one, but a blur nonetheless. We were in the car going…somewhere. A drunken man slammed his Benz into our family car. We tipped over. The last vivid image of that night was me laying in a pool of my own blood.

I woke up from that living nightmare in a hospital bed wearing a paper-thin gown. Fluorescent lights dizzy my weary brain.

A nurse came into the r...

This Is Goodbye

I watched as she walked down the aisle, she looked like a princess that walked out of a book. 

 But I know that this is not how she liked to dress. If it were up to her, she’d wear a white tuxedo or even a tank top with a pair of sweatpants.

 As she stood infront of my friend, her fiance, I could see the faint sadness in her eyes. They no longer had the shine they used to have. She looked like a b...

Out If Time

Time can take everything, I was used to it by now, yet I’ve had such trouble letting you go.


I’ve let go of pets, family members, my years as a kid, but you? You’re different. The place you hold inside my heart is stronger than anything I’ve felt.


But now, time has decided to take you from me.


You can’t stop it, you can run from it, so why fight it? It’s unreasonable to fight the looming thre...

Left And Leaving

People says that nobody leaves because they want,and that they leaves because they need to,or at least they feel like it. But it is wrong. People can also leaves for their own self. They can leave for their own dreams.

Sometimes,to archive your dreams means to give up and leave -other people,not your dreams- and to risk so many things. To archive your dreams means letting go of people even befo...

The Last Stop

I can’t, feel anything,

Where am I?

I can’t see.

Hear,

Move.


What happened to me?

Am I paralyzed?

I was fine a few minutes ago,

So what is this?

Is that, me?


I’m young again,

I’m, reliving memories of my youth,

But, it all happened already,

So why am I seeing them?


Am I, dead?

But I don’t recall dying,

I was on the bus,

Now I’m here.


OW, my head hurts,

Why though?

What’s happening?

What am I d...

For Only You

Consciousness wraps itself around me, pulling me out and away from the gentle caress of sleep. Not even the Sun has risen from her slumber, though even through the absence I still feel her warmth creep through the windowsill.


A soft breath ghosts over my back, like the gentle breeze that swoons the flowers and trees.


Despite my aching heart, I can do nothing but allow the smallest of smiles.

Her

Last night I had a dream

I held you in my arms

Protected from the world

You looked up and said to me

Forever mine

Then I awoke

A tear went down my eye

As I noticed, I was alone...

dependent on you

Elaine knew what she was doing. As the eldest child, her family relied on her, so she had grown to be responsible. She was even successful in starting a company, which proved that she could stand on her own two feet.


She was perfectly capable of making good choices, because she was _independent_.


But then, what was this? As the tears kept streaming down her now-ex-boyfriend’s face, she couldn’t ...

The End of Days

I looked around unsure of what was happening


Everyone i ever knew gathered around me


They gazed at me with such deep pity, their eyes brimming with tears, as if all hope had slipped away


Everything was starting to make sense. For the first time in forever i could tell where i was


I glanced around to get a better look at the people there


"Kris" i muttered slowly almost losing my breath. Ever...

Goodbye

My ears ached as I heard the phones ring. _I can’t bear to hear it. _My thoughts clouded my mind. Everything in my mind was telling me not to accept this last goodbye. My thoughts screamed so loudly that I couldn’t hear the monitor anymore.


The hand interlocked with mine remained ice cold. The realization hit me when I understood that even my warmth couldnt reach the hand of the one who passed. ...
