Droplets of water cascaded down the window pane, each droplet seeming to have a race with another. Her eyes were fixed on the white cross in the window as she tried to push down her feelings. Nothing could have prepared her for the waves of emotions that attacked her heart repeatedly.
“It’s like I was nothing to him.” Violet choked out through the uneasy breaths.
Tyler sat silently next to Violet ...
When I exited the clearing, I was met with the strangest, most exquisite sight I had ever seen. At first, I thought the light beyond the river was coming from a hut, but then I realised the light was, in fact, a figure. A girl kneeling on the forest floor beyond the river. At least, that was where I thought she was. But no, she was sitting on top of the water, her red and white robe spread out and...
I was in an empty parking lot. The moon shone onto me. There were no street lights, just the moonlight. And me.
I walked into the middle of the parking lot. I was in my pink Quinceanera dress.
It was midnight, and I managed to escape with my dress for a bit.
Since it was midnight, my birthday was yesterday.
I started to dance, laughing with myself.
This was was just what I needed. After a few...
I think of you
when the sun hits my blemished face
my skin prickles at the warmth
my eyes can barely stay open
with the brightness of your sunny smile
your pretty blond hair
that makes me feel okay just at the sight of it
I think of you
at night as I get ready for bed
I look up at the stars
comparing them to the memory of your eyes
both shining down on me
and I love looking up at either, too
just...
I don’t understand why I’m doing this. I just feel like I need to talk to her, explain myself.
I breath in, grabbing the cold door knob and entering the dark room.
The door squeaks as I step in. Laying on the hospital bed is a girl. The girl. Ever since the crash that I caused she’s been asleep.
I hold onto the edge of the door, resting my cheek on the rough wood. She looks so peaceful, like...
I ran out in the streets crying. I knew this was bound to happen. I mean, it’s natural for couples to fight. But this? I wasn’t sure how it would end. I looked up at the full moon, a slight smile appearing on my face. So beautiful, Lighting up the autumn night sky. “Emily,” I heard a gentle voice say. “What, Charlie,” I said shakily. “I’m out of the house. Isn’t that what you want?”
He walked ove...
under the cover of the dark
my skin bathed in pretty moonlight
i closed his door behind me
just as i did every night
his wife, she works the long shift
leaving him alone with the moon
but she doesn’t know that i’m there
it’s something that i shouldn’t do
but you haven’t seen that man
haven’t seen his way with words
i’ve loved him all my life
but they’ve been married for most of hers
he tells me...
She was woven from the threads of moonlight
Pale skin, gleaming silver eyes, and cascading raven hair
She was the maiden of stars
Soaring across constellations with wings of glitter
But she was broken
Sitting in the depths of her home, the moon
Watching the world laid out before her like a bejeweled rug
She longed for love
For passion
She was lonely...
It shimmered through the trees like a pool. Orla stood right in the middle of it. She turned her head up to the moon and smiled.
A rustle from a bush forced her to turn to it. Eilem emerged from it. He looked around and spotted Orla. He smiled wide.
“You actually came.” Orla breathed.
“Of course I did.” He laughed.
They met each other in the middle of the clearing. Orla placed her arms over Ei...
