Two Mirrors

« I promise you with the whole of my heart that I’ll never ever leave and will love you forever. I’ll promise this with my life. »


That’s what you told me with full assurance and alacrity two months ago. My body resonated with each words as my mind was floating in a basin of ecstasy. You are the panacea for the issues of life, my source of pure bliss and a field of euphoria that is unquenchable. ...

Shadows Of A Lost Love

As I stared into the eyes of a past lover, all my affection and love slowly melted away, replaced by bitter anger and suspicion. He only even loved my to throw my away like trash. I fell for him, and now what? I’m standing in his empty embrace, his cold words that once made my heart flutter, now made my heart beat uncomfortably, like the heavy anticipation of a dark storm that never comes, leaving...

Chain The Truth.

_The red hood fit perfectly._

_It didn't touch the floor, which was a good thing._

_The market was on fire _

_The little girl's hand held onto mine tight._

_I look at the poster on the wall_

_And it says in big bold words_

_"Knightly tournament"_

_I take the poster and stuff it in my pocket._

_I hear a high-pitched squealing pierced the loud and noisy market, come from right next to me. _

_I see A...

Blinded

He would not look me in the eye. “So tell me what happened or leave.” I demanded. He remained silent, eyes darting around for an excuse but I was almost certain I knew what happened. I just needed confirmation.


I throat chopped him to show him

I was serious. Caught off guard he made a short choking sound and took a step backwards, “Ah, so your voice does work. You can choose to use it or I can c...

What She Didn’t Know

It happened the same way falling in love did, gradually and then all at once. This person whose entire being I was once so sure I knew completely, was now a stranger to me. Who was he, really? What was he capable of? What had I willfully ignored? Connor had offered me a dream life but in this moment, face to face, I realize something has shifted. I fear my life has become a nightmare. The lies I’...

Hurt

My heart

Everything hurts

Stabbed by sadness

Over and over

The puddles growing

Eyes soaked

Cheeks dripping

Lonely and lost


Let me go

Let me disappear...

Distance

As I stared into the eyes of the woman I once loved

Every fiber of my affection turned to suspicion

She couldn’t keep her eyes locked, hands shaking

She looked like my love but she was different


She talked with a soft voice that I hear most days

But the voice sounded a little too soft

Like hiding your planted knife to act like I’m okay

Maybe I’m overthinking just a little bit


But the way she kee...

Love Promise

The room was dimly lit, the only light coming from a single lamp that cast long shadows on the walls. I sat across from him, the man I once thought I’d spend forever with. His dark eyes, once so warm and full of love, now seemed distant, guarded.


We hadn’t seen each other in months. Life had pulled us in different directions, but even so, I thought of him often. Memories of laughter, shared secre...

My Heart Is A Mirror

Letting yourself love,

Is giving someone access,

Too a loaded gun,

Pointing dangerously,

Aimed directly,

At your heart.


My heart is a mirror,

Reflecting my surroundings,

The thing about mirrors is,

It is almost impossible,

To distroy one,

Only distort and deform it.


You can shatter a mirror,

But it’s still a mirror,

Even though it’s broken.


The mirror still does its job,

Even if you fire the...

A Love Lost

As I stared into the eyes of the person I once loved, every ounce of my affection slowly melted away. I looked in his eyes and no longer saw the future, just the anger and confusion of all decisions and mistakes. His voice was unrecognizable, and his embrace felt detached and unwelcome. The tears falling, the anxiety rising, words with no sympathy. This was it; this was the end. ...
