Hummmmmmmmmm
A hummingbird appeared
in the courtyard, when my
aunt Keri was about to die.
It landed on each of us and
Then flew inside.
Hummmmmmmmmmm
Keri was pure and kind.
She loved grapefruits.
She loved how sweet they were.
How ironic.
Hummmmmmmmmmm
They don’t tell you how when
You have a close extended
Family you feel the weight
Of a loss in ripples.
Their grief pulses and collid...
(School has started so I won’t be as active, but anyways, I present to you part three, continuation of ‘The Letter!’)
The day that Cloeanne died was the quietest day in the history of the Hallings’ home. Uncle Finn wandered around aimlessly, still wearing the same clothes from the night she died and still feeling that horrible aching tug at his stomach. He could not bear to look at the girls. Th...
The muffled voices, silent screaming the undertone to it all. Invisible hands reach up from the ground. Invisible tears and blood form an invisible sea that closes in above my head. Smiles invoke a dark, unbridled fury. A Titan shifts behind me, plucking away the good and peeling back my invisble mask. My silent begging as my life pours through the cracks is unheeded. What people see is someone wh...
Brielle feels like she is going through a haze. Like nothing is making clear sense.
Officer Minton took their statements and alibis (gosh they actually needed alibis) individually. She doesn’t know if they all had a solid one, but she did, having been at McDonalds during the Warner’s Park attack. There will be security footage. Witness accounts. Her credit card notification, and she still had the...
In a sea of smiling faces,
I am the masked one, I drift,
A solitary leaf on the wind,
A lone heartbeat in the void.
Voices buzz like distant bees,
Their hum a backdrop to my solitude.
Loneliness slithers into me, nesting,
Creating a new home for itself.
Eyes flicker past, fleeting glances,
Like moments grasped and then released,
I am a shadow in the noonday sun,
Oh, but even shadows have co...
“Why, WHY?, WHY?!” Jacob screamed.
He lay over his best friends dead body. “WHY DID YOU LEAVE SO SOON? WHY?!” Tears streamed down his face.
Without another thought he turns to his best friends killer.
His eyes filled with so much rage. He screamed “HOW COULD YOU DO THIS!” “I HATE YOU WITH EVERY CELL IN MY BODY!”
The killer smiled “Don’t you understand, you did this.”
His sobbs soon turned t...
I stared at the house in front of me that I had lost. It wasn’t mine, it was my grandparents, yet I considered it to be a second home. It held so many memories all the way down to the very bricks the house was made of. My grandfather had built and designed it himself for my grandmother, it bloomed from the beauty of love.
From the colourful flower display at the front that drew in everyone’s att...
The rage surged through me like wildfire, consuming every inch of my being. Betrayal—etched into my bones, searing my soul. How could he? All the promises. All the whispered “I love you’s’’… They never meant shit.
The dresser drawers now held only his deceit. And the clothes that she’d probably ripped off of him 1000 times. I tore them open, fabric ripping, wood splintering. His shirts, neatly ...
i used to be sad
that they always leave
me when i thought we
were fine
i used to be sad
that they told lies and
i would fall for them like
a naïve child
i used to be sad
that i wasn’t good
enough for them and they
don’t want me
i used to be sad
that everything was always
against me for some reason
the whole world
but now?
now i’m angry
angry that you wasted my time
angry that you spewed li...
swirling, flowing
whirling cartwheels in space
ink and a blank canvas and that’s all there is now
my brain dances with ribbons painting up and down and up and down
spinning dresses that twist and warp
winding, curling up up my ears
down down my neck
shadows in my veins
blood in my eyes
cries red
screams black
my mouth is loud and my lips are cracked and dry from the yelling
and i can’t feel anyt...
