The End

When the Earth’s ground met the realm of space, the planet split between a frozen land and pool of heat, with a path between holding the last plant life. The cities once filled with men and women who built the last standing structures fell to crumbled ruins. Statues that kept the faces of man survived as the last standing likeness of humanity.


Among the wreckage, the spirit wondered above the gro...

please don’t

I will not walk this earth without you

if you left, I wouldn’t know what to do

I’d be broken, more than I am now

no, no, you leaving, I can’t allow

I will never smile, never laugh

if I ever have to put you in the past

without you, I’d be a mess

I really do love you, I must confess

I know I don’t say it much, but it’s true

the one person I care about is you

you can’t leave me

I won’t let it be

you ...

Fall-in?

“I will not walk this earth without you.” Carter gripped my hand tightly, “Watch your step next time. Do you understand?”


My mouth is still hung open. Carter, THE Carter, saved me? But why? What does he mean by “he won’t walk this earth without me?” I started to spiral, “I thought you hated me…” I mumbled, looking up at him.


He gritted his teeth as he looked up, obviously annoyed, yet…maybe sli...

My guide and friend

Our parents

You

Trusted me


I

Let you down


We

Need each other


Our

Home is together...

(if i was your orpheus)

it’s because - not

despite - my love

for you,

that i turned back....

Without Love

I could sing a million songs about your love, about your home


I could preach a million words about your son and his ransom


I could walk a million miles,

Tell the world about your heart


But I know it’s worth nothing, without love


So overflow me with your love Lord

Make my heart a place of freedom

Take away all my hatred

Fill me with the love of Jesus


I could move every mountain with the f...

Love Letter #1

“You make me feel so special and rare. To have something no one else has nor will ever have. Something I will fight incessantly for. I will hold on with all my might, posessing an iron grip that bears yet such tender delicacy. Something I will never allow to slip through my fingers. I have you, infinitely.

I cherish basking and roaming under the sun in our ardent days together, and I rest in d...

Story Starter Not Walk This Earth

"I will not walk this earth with you," she said, her voice firm but her eyes full of sorrow. The sun was setting behind her, casting long shadows across the deserted field. I reached out, desperate to touch her one last time, but she took a step back, her silhouette slowly fading into the darkness. The world around us seemed to hold its breath, waiting for something—anything—that could change her ...

"Casper Ezell, wake **up**-!" I shout desperately, clutching his unmoving body.

**_Fuck_**. There's so much blood; it sends waves of sheer panic down my spine. I don't even know whose blood surrounds us anymore. The searing pain in my stomach hasn't ceased, but this boy is way more important. H...

**_ “I will not walk this earth without you…” she whispered to the sapling  as she carefully placed it in the ground. Brody’s hands trembled, caked with dirt and memories. It had been her grandmother’s favorite tree- a rare species now on the brink of extinction. For years, they’d tended to it together in the backyard, watching it gr0w alongside their bond._**
