I can’t do it. I can’t. If I had the choice, I would run back into his arms. I made this choice before I met him… I didn’t think I’d fall in love with him, but alas, love is unpredictable. I decided to take a job offer thousands of miles away. All I could think about in that moment was getting out of this place. Now all I could think about was staying for him.
“You gotta go, Zoe. It’s only six mo...
The battle is finally over. It’s dark now. A natural dark, rather than the eclipse we had during the fight.
Everyone is with their friends or family. Some going home, others getting medical help. But I stand alone, watching her.
I watch her looking around. Searching for me. She can’t see me. A small part of me wants to go to her. To hold her, kiss her, and tell her everything will be ok.
But...
It was hard, you know, leaving.
I love her, but she wounds me. She puts me down and apologizes, and she puts me down again and apologizes once more, and repeat. It is confusing at times, and I even feel guilty about it. How could I ever think poorly of my own mother? I beat myself up if I even think of it, for she remains my mother. We are supposed to be family.
But.
I am her daughter, isn’t s...
„Nein! NEIN!!! Ich kann dich nicht nochmal verlieren, nimmt ihn mir nicht weg!“, rief ich. Doch alle lachten nur, alle außer Ben. Ben sah mich an und in seinem Blick lagen so viele Emotionen, dass ich nichtmal bemerkte, dass ich anfing zu weinen. Als er sprach war es wie bei regen im Winter. Am Anfang war es schön, doch den Matsch am Schluss, mochte niemand. Auch bei seinen Worten war der Schluss ...
I pack my bags, finally about to leave for the long journey ahead, my entire life had been spent in the comfort of my parents home, it’s the day I finally go for College, to try to get my life straight, meet new people, and learn new valuable information about my job, I walk over to the kitchen, my mother was staring out the window and tears in her eyes, not believing that her beautiful daughter w...
Nothing lasts forever
No one stays forever
People don’t breathe forever
You can't force love
You can't hold on
To someone how wants to leave
You can’t love those that don’t love you back
Sometimes you don't want to breathe
Don't want to believe
Its Will that does this to you
You say to yourself
But maybe he doesn't exist
Maybe you as a whole are the problem
Maybe i am the problem
With no one else...
Dear Love,
I apologise for not having the courage to say this to your face. I always was a coward.
It’s not you, it’s me. I’m a mess and I simply can’t do this no more. I must go. I must move on from this life.
I love you endlessly… I always have, since the moment our eyes met. I knew you were the one, my love, my best friend, my hero.
I know we will meet again, in another life, some other...
She fakes a smile so she
Doesn’t worry anyone else,
Not like they would care
She listens to their problems,
Just to later hear the crap they
Speak about her behind her back
She tells herself it doesn’t matter
Their happiness means more and
Bottles up her feelings
She learned to control her
Nonstop rambling, they
Already stopped listening
She tried to ignore their
Constant comments, critic...
“You seem tired Baby” Sam cooed at me
“ Mmm” I sleepily mumbled back
He smiled softly and gingerly rubbed my back.
My eyelids flutted shut and he carried me into the bedroom with great grace and slid me under our blue comforter and went off the shower.

I slid her under the blue comforter the edges of her moutg curved up into a slight smile and I couldnt help but place a slight kiss on her be...
Mia's fingers trembled as she zipped up her duffel bag. Twenty-three years of suffocation, manipulation, and guilt were about to end. Her mother's voice echoed from downstairs, shrill and demanding as always.
"Mia! Where are my reading glasses? I told you to keep them on my nightstand!"
Mia closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and didn't respond. She'd spent her entire life responding, obeying, ...
