“So you’re saying this is all a con, Remy,” Jerry said, shaking the sleep from his head. “You bought me in as your CFO said you needed a trusted man in your corner. I’ve been in the dark ever since. What’s going on?”
“Don’t get your panties in a bunch. Waterman Sterling Investments is financially sound or my name isn’t Regis Sterling. I just need you to do one perfectly normal favor. These things...
You Broke Me First
I watched you fall for another girl,
The girl you said “Was just a friend,”
And I can sit here and say “You’re stupid,”
But that wouldn’t entirely be true.
You knew better but yet, she was all you wanted, you didn’t want the one who cares, who loves, you wanted the one that’d just disappear within time.
I was supposed to be your forever, the one you’d call at any point of time, the one you’...
Is What My Mother Said To My Father
For his memory was never that stellar
Remembering little things from a decade ago
But not a minute ago
He’s the smartest dumb person I know
She’d say
Or the dumbest smart person I know
She could never decide
For he was not unintelligent
Far from it
But she’d always say it
Albeit as a joke
Laced with a hint of worry
For he was a bit young to have his memory going
But we’d all laugh
For what else?...
Botched Job
“I can’t believe that fucking worked!”
They gasped for air, adrenaline pulsing through their veins.
“You are the smartest kind of stupid, Lay.”
“Thanks!” She replied beaming.
“But NEVER — again.”
“Why,” Lay complained. “I liked it!”
“Of course you did. But I am not going to hide in a garbage bin, EVER, again.”
Lay snickered at them.
“I have banana peel in my hair! How the hell are you not...
Truce
What I want in love
Is a mind of growth
Honed to the click and clacks
Of misunderstandings groan
What I need in love
Is a heart so bright
That shines and laughs
And awakens the dullest dye
What I hope for love
Is a peace of mind
The days serene
and nights gettin in
What it is in love
Is a fight for truce
Creation from rapport...
The kind of woman a man loved
As a woman I was always faced with the burden of a million things; often contradictions of each other
I was told to be confident, because that was what men found attractive but humble as not to bruise a man’s ego.
I was told to be pretty, because that’s where my worth lied, but not to care too much about my appearance as that made me self absorbed, and men did not like women who weren’t giving...
Knowledge
In an embarrassing recollection of a very trying time in my life I think back to the moment in my apartment and the moment when I was so upset and angry with myself that I had walked down the hallway and hit myself on the head seven time and called myself stupid while I did it, no one else needed to call me stupid or dense though I had heard from the world plenty of times that very sentiment, I ha...
A Rant
It only took him a year to completely destroy me.
~~~
Out of all the boys in the school, I just had to date him. I didn’t know why, maybe his aura was securing - or maybe his smile was nice ( at first ). Or maybe it was that he seemed like a gentle heart; always ready to help another in need.
The red flags didn’t appear quickly, no. I genuinely thought he was a great guy. I pushed all my negat...
Runaways
My twin and I are nothing alike. And yet when he purposed the idea of running away, I instantly agreed. Aunt Jenna is only ever nice when her boyfriend comes over, and it’s a different dude each time. I guess we’re both fed up with her pretending like she’s our real aunt, or like she’s not getting paid for taking care of us, or that she doesn’t use the money for her own good. Tonight’s the night w...
Escape Room
“This isn’t going to get us anywhere,” Talia says, looking at the map in her hands.
Tavin smiles at her from his lounging position on the couch.
“Your doing great, Tal,” he says, scrolling on his phone. Talia rolls her eyes. She just keeps thinking to her self that he’s just not participating because he could never figure out an escape room like this.
“Aren’t you even going to help?” She compla...
