The animosity between two rival kingdoms would finally rest upon the alliance agreed using the unity of the Prince and Princess of another kingdom. The marriage is grandiose in every way possible; the perfect tailoring, the majestic decorations in and beyond castle grounds, variety of food preparations and noble guests coming from neighbouring countries as well as all across the globe.
The marri...
I’ve never cried like this before. My hands are shaking, my eyes are never running out of tears, and my heart feels like it’s been ripped out of my chest and stomped on.
I can’t believe Davian never told me about the night of the crash. I can’t believe I fell for him, but most of all I can’t believe that right now. In the moment of pain I’m feeling because of him, the only person I want to hold ...
I hate me.
I hate me I hate me.
I hate me I hate me I hate me.
I hate me I hate me I hate me I hate me I
Hate
Me.
Why?!
Why am I never enough?!
Why can I not just get through this?
Why do I have to go around hurting everyone I care about?
What’s my problem?
I’m so sorry.
I’m so sorry that I can’t do this.
I just can’t.
I have no excuse,
No escape.
I am not enough for you,
And I just can’t do thi...
“So . . .” Davian trails, letting out a deep breath.
“What’s up?” I ask, turning to my side in the itchy grass.
“Well,” Davian sighs, shutting his black eyes. “I think I need to tell you something.”
I nod, resting my head on the palm of my hand. “You can tell me.” I say. “I’ll listen.”
Davian lets out a small laugh, “I know you will.”
I smile, playfully pushing Davian’s arm. “So what is ...
It's been months since we talked
Yet I still have mixed feelings
I overthink things yet
I'm overthinking you
I don't know how to trust you
Again or if I need to let it go
The feelings are numb
And you're slowly fading away
I try to forget you yet I can't
It's December now and two days before a package shows up but I know who it's from
Dad says I can open it but I choose to wait
Mom s...
“Where did you put it?” Ken whispered hurriedly at the guy.
“Here.” The guy handed him a small box.
“Thank you for keeping it safe.” Ken breathed with relief.
“No problem.” The guy walked off.
Aji slipped behind a wall when Ken looked her way. She peeked back at him when he looked away. Why would her boyfriend be keeping things from her?
Ken slipped the box in his pocket and walked out of the...
Chocolate hearts,
And melted kisses.
Forgetful parts
Of all our witnesses.
Tied up with a rope,
No one comes to help.
Seeing you slip away from my grasp,
On purpose..
I knew you never cared,
But . . .
It was meant to be for you,
I only ever wanted it to be for you.
Yet,
Even though you never come,
When I scream out in pain,
I love you.
It’s just a curse . . .

You say you'll come but then you don't
You said you'd be back but it's been five years now
Did you forget? No, I don't want to hear its too hard to come back, you just don't want to deal with the mess you left behind, that hurts dosen't it? Not wanting to see your siblings grow up. But I guess the things you're doing out there are more important. And don't try to put the blame on somebody else, ...
She stood, hands rinsed in blood, gazing at me with her innocent gray eyes. I took a step back, apprehensive as I did not know where the stairs would appear. One false step and I would end up like Sara.
She lay on the ground, in the background of the scene, head tilted away in my perspective.
I choked back a sob. "Eden," my tongue was on the edge of a scream. Maybe if I alarm the neighbo...
