Dear uncle,

You came across my mind,

Knocking on the door of memory,

I don’t know why you want to remind,

Me of what has passed away.

As you come into our minds,

The air feels heavy to breathe,

And the darkness surrounds like a sheath,

The ribs of each,

One of us.

The questions begin to be asked:

Why did you leave us so fast?

Couldn’t you have stayed for a while with us?

Even if no, but why the ...

Darkness envelopes Morwen as she walks over the bodies. She knew he was one of them, but there was no way to tell until she found him. A mop of brown hair was spotted, lifted, and returned as she moved through the carnage. Her dress dragged over the bodies, getting soaked in mud and blood from the battlefield. Her pitiful candle wavered in the gloom and threatened to extinguish itself in many ...

I tried to live without you,

Build happy memories.

But I don’t know what to do,

When the pain I feel carries

All the love I couldn’t give you,

All the joy we could’ve felt,

If you stayed longer,

But you left.

As I stand here next to you,

On the anniversary date,

And I try to feel brave,

I think about fate.

But I can’t accept what happened,

And I fall into pieces,

Because this place makes it so re...

**Intro**

Father-shaped bullet,

bloody exit wound.

I entered with a BANG,

split in two,

my brain scattered on the floor.

**Hibernation**

You ran,

and I forgot the piece of my heart I gave you.

**Intermission**

Loss of innocence. Death.

**Transformation**

I am a shotgun shell.

The fragments of your bullet still ache,

and I explode—

like a smoking gun....

My hands search for light

As an escape out of this grave

A frigid fight

There I see a star shining upon

I try to pull myself up

Reaching for the light

I am submerged in goodness

But I notice there are others like me

Reaching for the same light

“Where are we?” Looking at each other’s eyes.

A voice from the sky calls for us.

Speaking like a true god in a low pitch,

“The end has come and you have r...

I take my first breath. My second first breath to be precise. I look up at the sky, the moon shone brightly down. I breathe a sigh of relief, glad the sun wasn’t here to destroy the few pieces of me that remained remotely human.

I pull myself out of the coffin sucking in the night air. It didn’t do anything for me anymore, it didn’t need to. Maybe it was just habit.

I glance down at my hands, my...

**The worst day of my life was the day of the funeral. **

My husband, Tarry, was the best partner I ever had. The brunette boy had that cute cheeky grin. He sat on one knee like he knew what I'd say.

That's how it began.

If you want to know how it ended, it was a week ago. I was crying in my empty room to a dusty old photo of him. His soft, gentle lips and his fluffy hair between my ...

My journey from the abyss was filled with fear and dread. Tired, driven to madness, and the hunger pains my insides. I pull myself into the pale moonlight, looking for the witch who summoned me. I see her, at the opening of my former prison. She seems lovely but I am ravenous, I am wary from the long road back, and the thirst has driven me mad. I must feed....

There are two graves—one I dug, and the other you did. Equally covered with the same amount of dirt, only unlike other graves, these don’t carry any roses or lilies, no pansies nor flowers of any kind. No, these grave are opposite from others in every way.

Problems tend to lead to yourself making wrong decisions, right? Everything is a choice. I could’ve chosen to not dig a grave so deep, but I ...

A pennyless man can’t buy me the world

Nor can a rich one

Only stories of gold

Can save me

A thoughtful man can’t buy me piece of mind

Nor can an ignorant one

Only gifts from the Heavens

Can save me

A helpful man can’t save the whole world

Nor can a helpless one

Only a fool so blind

Can save me

A living man can’t keep me alive

Nor can a dead one

Only a grave so bleak

Can save me

So if no other...
