Writing Prompt

Seven years of ups and downs,

Highs and lows and everything,

That lies between. It was,

So beautiful, so bittersweet,

Until it all came crashing,

Down, down, down.

I thought we had forever,

But little did I know,

Forever isn’t long at all,

And time is a clever one,

It has this way of slipping through,

Your fingers, just like sand.

And in its swift dissent,

It grabs you by the hand,

It...

It’ll probably explain how I felt

In a time that shouldn’t matter anymore

You should’ve been someone who doesn’t matter

Yet timing says otherwise when you find a way

Pilled too high for me to get over

melancholic waters you taught me to swim

Thankful to be alive

Held together slowly with space and time

The...

and squeeze the

hope from my kiss.

My toxic levels

settling on your lips.

Warm light,

pasted nights,

glistening upon the curved edged line,

A room hollowed out and clothes untouched,

In place of a body or a hand or a heart,

Is nothing but dust and worn faded cloth,

You two were gone

The fun nights

The happiness

The laughter

The feeling of carelessness

All gone

New people

No similarities

Below them

I am below them

A new language

I don’t speak

Don’t understand

I cant talk

Communicate with others

I am mute here

Unable to express myself

Meet others

I don’t want to

But I want to be able to

To talk to others

Meet others

I’ll stop keeping secrets from you

I’ll always be your friend

I’d choose you any day

I promise

I didn’t believe you

It kept happening

She left us

I thought I was becoming a third wheel

I got cursed at

But I did

What I felt

Even though I told you

A lot

But you’re way better than...
