Writing Prompt

It should have been me

That’s what I think when I see him

With her

His smile and laugh

His hand wrapped in hers

I really tried

I talked to you

Or I tried to

I thought what I did was nocited

Everytime you smile

I cry because it’s never been for me

It’s such a perfect smile

A smile that fills me with hope

But it’s never been for me

I used to think it would

I’d imagine everything about yo...

Over the hill, beneath the tree,

We lay upon the dew-kissed grass.

Embraced in passion, ever free,

A moment too precious to ever last.

The fleeting hours, a stolen fire,

Consumed us in its golden gleam.

But like a dream, or heart's desire,

It faded with the morning's beam.

Now I wander like a ghost,

Through empty fields where laughter died.

To you, the one I loved the most,

I’ll see you on the...

i’m over the hill now

driving away from my home

my nails dig into the wheel

acres for my soul to roam

the salt stings my eyes

and my phone won’t stop ringing

my mother would be so disappointed

but i’m far from her upbringing

push my foot down

the cameras are all clicking

but i don’t care now

the clock is still ticking

pass the graveyard

the ghosts call my name

arms reach out to touch me

to join...

“How are you?”, I ask

Are you well now that you left?

Ran. Over the hill?...

When you finally find happiness,

Or that feeling you were searching for,

I’d say you’re finally ‘Over the Hill’

The same claim many people swore,

Everyone chases their goals, ambitions, and desires

Of the glittering horizon of the world,

Most are unable to climb it

For ‘Over the Hill’ is obscured and furled

There is always the edge

chasing it is futile

always another,

the distant blue is only br...

Over the hill lay rows of crosses,

Poppies bloomed along with pride,

Everyone pays respects to the soldiers,

They fought long and hard for our lives....

Grass is often greener on the other side

With the true feelings one may hide

And often you may ponder

What is over yonder

Is it roads of gold?

Or a fortune foretold?

Is it all you’ve hoped and dream

Or an elegant stream

Is it a field with a beautiful meadow

House owned by a rich fellow?

What is over the hill?

Is it the pill?

The one that will fix

Make your head not in a mix

What you think is ove...

How much we love each other

An anniversary surprise

Pictured Rocks

Your gift to me despite your fear of heights

Let me take your photo

Back up you say

Take it all in from

First date to first grand baby

That woman just one of many

That woman you talk to late into the nights she is seconds

Our love is decades

Cool sandstone heavy

No one understands

How much I love you

In this our marriage Ind...

i find it hard to see

over the trees and in between

on this hill i stand

seeking to form a bond in nature and man

the call of the wild is in us all

we are progressing, forth we crawl

mother nature is our home

in my heart, love has grown

i want to share this feeling

not many know of it, they’ve gotten greedy

with all the money and time

they can easily manipulate our minds

nature is first always...

It used to be so thrilling every birthday,

To realize all I had ahead of me,

But soon excitement faded away,

And I didn’t want another.

My friends are eclectic,

And more flakey than I,

So parties do not tend to work,

Just RSVP no.

My family’s a mess,

Most just straight up don’t care,

The ones that did love me

Are no longer there.

It’s a lonely existence,

Feeling the space between us,

Wishing I ...
