[ONE]
I broke her heart,
and I meant every crack.
She should’ve been smart
because it was just a contract.
If I’m foul,
why did you love me?
You scowl,
but you were just a nominee.
We had a deal,
and I kept it.
I never had feelings to conceal,
but I guess yours were legit.

**CALLIOPE**
“Yeah! It’s all good,” I manage to reply. My heart drums against my ribcage.
If Asher’s going to be there, Boston and I are going to have to work harder to keep the facade running.
“I’ll see you in half an hour, Cal!”
And she hangs up.
In half an hour, I’m standing awkwardly by the popcorn machine. I’m just waiting…
And waiting.
Until… Asher shows ...
I’ve been very clear
But not transparent
The plan is working
But only on batteries
I’m stopping the small boats
Ah, the Dunkirk spirit.
Normally I’d say let him finish
But I’m enjoying this.
We need change
I’ve already got wads
We will ringfence the NHS
I’m working on ringfencing Dover
A strong partnership with our European neighbours
A one- off cash deal with Rwanda
This is the point whe...
I love the world
Flowers bright, sky so clear
My lungs breathe the nice cool air
Smiling at strangers
Laughing with friends
I hope this day never ends
I hate the world
I hate his stupid face
And the Sun that makes it humid
I hate waking up early
And all the chanting torments
I hate who I am today
Wishing I could change
But here I am, lying in bed
Wishing the world away
Screw the world
Screw the...
i love him
the way he makes me smile and laugh
even when the sky is stormy
or when the seas are in turmoil
i hate him
the way i depend on him so much
and how much i value his thoughts
though he doesn’t notice me
i don’t care
despite that dopey grin and annoying face
it doesn’t matter what i do
or who i pretend to be, it’s hopeless
i love him
i hate him
i don’t care....
(Sorry I didn’t do the prompt right. I just did two perspectives)
Joy
A beautiful journey, a bright summer day,
the warm sun on your back
A Christmas morning, a hug from a friend
I’m a child’s first laugh
The wonders of living through the joy and the strife
I’m your journey, your story, your life
Death
A lovely finish, A race was won
Everything comes to an end
A peaceful sleep, a well deserved r...
**Little Girl:**
With pigtails flying, I twirl and spin,
A world of wonder, I'm set to begin.
My giggles float on the breeze of dawn,
With every skip, a fairy's wand.
In a meadow of dreams, where Daisy‘s sway,
I chase the sun, each beautiful day.
So innocent, and full of trust,
I paint the world in pixie dust.
**Mother:**
In the strength of day, I hold her near,
I hold her hand, I dry her tear...
I KNOW YOU KNOW. I KNOW YOU FEEL THAT.
IT’S ANNOYING, A CONSTANT STING.
OUR TETHER. CUT BY YOU.
THE MOMENTUM STOPPED. RAGE CONSUMED.
I WANT TO GRAB AND PULL BUT I LACK THE DRIVE.
A SHATTERED HOMECOMING. HONESTLY, A STAKE TO THE HEART.
did i read the wrong chapter? did i open the wrong page?
where do i fit here? theres no where for me to even stand.
ice covers me on this fiery plane.

Do not succumb to vices, child,
Be grateful for your lot.
One instance of you going wild.
Can fill your life with rot.
You’re not a child, Adam
You’re fully all grown up.
Why not embrace this madam,
And in bliss have her pop?
Should I embrace temptations?
Or stay faithful to my wife?
Lust’s empty sensations
Aren’t worth ruining our life....
Choking on air
What an idiot
Walking on eggshells
I’m certainly loosing it
Quiet voice
Tired eyes
Not much for crowds
I might pass out out of confusion
Weak minded
Comes back for more
No matter how much pain it causes
From the start
What a fucking fool
No remorse
You mess with me
Ill desplay you on horns
You never cared
You just wanted to gain
You’re annoyed at everyone
They all make you si...
