Daily Prompt: Waiting

I was waiting for you and even as the sun went down.

I continued to wait for you even as it became dark and cold I waited.

All bundled up with a cup of hot chocolate near by just in case it got too cold.

As my hope of you showing up started to dim out like the street light above me.

A shadow starts to move towards me in a hurry and I’m relieved as you step into the light.

All out of breath from running from the train station to meet me.

You said you’re sorry but the train was late and your phone died.

As your breathing becomes more normal again.

I’m glad you’re okay and now we can leave for I’m tired of waiting and would like to get out the cold.

But, the truth is I’d wait for you no matter how long or what kind of weather I have to face.

Just to end up seeing you smiling and your arms wrapped around me.

Daily Prompt: Urgent

I felt like there was no time left and I needed to urgently tell you how I felt.

But, the doors on the train started to close and instead I waved goodbye and went on my way.

As the train pulled off and everything goes by the windows so fast.

I wanted to kick  myself for not saying anything and knowing the distance will make the unspoken words seem less meaningful.

I miss you and maybe soon when I see you again I’ll finally say the words, I was trying to say months ago.

Tired

Eyes you look at me

but not for long for as I speak.

Your eyes start to fall and once closed

you won’t want to wake up again.

For it’s late and you want to sleep in the land of softness.

where everything seems to feel just right, where sleep last for a good eight to nine hours.

You want this as night becomes morning and,soon the softness will be replaced with the some times harsh reality.

People will come at you and you’re not quite ready for them as your brain tries to truly wake up.

You can’t seem to understand why anyone would want to be up this early.

I mean yea its 11am but sometimes sleeping in is nice.

So the day goes on and you don’t seem to be awake at all and once home your still tired but dragging on.

Until you and sleep meet again then you smile and the lights go out again.

And I whisper good night in hope, your dreams will bring you some peace reality couldn’t.

Daily Prompt: Trust

I trusted you and as all the things I told you pour out your mouth to someone else.

I break into millions of  pieces of glass and I almost wish those pieces could cut into you.

And you can feel my pain and I fall to my knees no longer having the strength to look you in the eye without letting all out.

A scream/ yell so loud that glass would break and anyone near By would drop to their knees and cover their eyes and hope it would end soon.

And it will end with me walking away stronger than I thought was possible for me.

However, you will walk away like a dog with his tail between his legs and the shame will hunt you for life.

Trust me hurting me is worst than you could possibly  imagine.

Daily Prompt:Subdued

She felt sad when looking at you that morning because, she felt

the weight of a loss friendship coming her way and she just didn’t know what went wrong.

The laughing and joking around and just enjoying each other company seemed so great and just seemed like everything had been so good just yesterday.

But today the breeze that blew through you together was nothing but unfriendly, she couldn’t even stand to look at you for she knew that hurt would shine right through.

She didn’t want to see you and she hoped that she could avoid you until the day came that she didn’t care anymore.

But, the truth is that day wouldn’t come for her heart was too big and even when she was hurt by you.

She still cared and as she tried to shake these subdued emotions away, it was hard for her to see you again that day.

Daily Prompt: Candle

You’re a flame to my candle and without you I would not have  brighter days when the my light is too low to shine on its own.

You’re the flame to the candle that never seems to go out.

Always providing warmth and hope.

You move to beat of the music with so much joy.

Never missing a beat,so strong and dedicated to being the best flame on a candle that smells so good.

No one would want to get rid of you and would buy so many of you.

You’d always be out of stock but, they would always wish you were around to light up their day and night.

Daily Prompt:Clumsy

I clumsily fell in front of you and instead of  laughing you just smiled and extended your hand to help me up.

That was the moment my clumsiness begun to happen more often.

Every time you looked at me I would smile and be filled with joy.

Then I would walk away and bump into something as if for just one moment I couldn’t see what’s in front of me.

But some how you always around to pick me back up.

And no matter how clumsy I am you never seem to get tired of having to watch out for me.

For your my heart and I’m your heart and were one.

My hurt, hurts you so you would do anything to ease my pain or embarrassment.

I promised you so much more than I’m willing to give to you right now.

And yes it sucks but I’m so tired I don’t seem to be able to give you more energy then I can give myself.

I want to say I feel bad that I broke this promise to you.

But, I couldn’t predict that this would happen and so apart of me is sorry and I’ll say the words next time I see you.

But right now I’m just trying to get the strength to get out of bed when my body just screams for more sleep.

Daily Prompt: Original

Being original is creating something new for the first time,

Taking all that you have and pouring it into something beautiful.

It all becomes a piece of art that one is passionate about and it all gets viewed

Differently.

Whether that be in a positive or negative way the piece is out there for one to love or one to hate but either way the piece gets attention.

To create original pieces is hard but when one is successfully done its like Christmas morning as a child.

Your so excited to read it and get lost in it and, to read it over and over again until you can’t stop loving it as if it was the first day you laid eyes on it.

Daily Prompt: Flattery

We all want to feel like someone is noticing our new hair cut, new outfit.

And the list goes on but sometimes were in a hurry so flattery will get you nowhere.

Maybe one day we will slow down and appreciate your words and maybe something will blossom from this interaction.

But, today I speed by and your words fall deaf to my ears.

But you smile anyways for there is always hope that tomorrow, I will hear you and turn your way.

Daily Prompt:Careful

I try to be careful around you as the day goes by.

But I catch myself watching you more closely.

Like a tree you grow in front of me and as your branches intertwine with me.

Wrapping around me like a safety net nothing can get through to harm me.

As I stand here protected by you, time goes by and the beauty of this situation begins to darken as the flowers become weeds.

And the light that used to shine on us turned into darkness and shadows begun to grow so tall.

That the branches that used to protect me started to fall and before I could blink you were gone.

And all that was left was me and darkness and all the beautiful flowers had vanished and cold wind blew through and nothing seemed the same again.

Daily Prompt:Argument

It doesn’t matter who started the argument.

For just one moment someone is sad or mad or both.

And then who will be the bigger person and apologize.

Making the matter better and everyone forgives but one always never seems to forget.

And so the fight begins over and over again until.

He or she isn’t around to fight with you anymore.

And the argument wins and you lose and as you look out the window on rainy day.

Wondering what he is doing and if only you could fix this gap between you two.

Maybe there is still time to fix it for the argument not to win again and again.

Daily Prompt: Border

mywords2228

Every now and then you show up on the borders of my mind.

I wonder will I ever forget you in my unconscious set of mind?

Because when I’m conscious you’re so far from thought, the memories of you are gone.

Yet you pop in a dream or two and I feel like your trespassing in a place you don’t belong anymore.

Times goes on and you keep trying to cross the borders and I wake up wondering why?

Because I could be dreaming about anything and everything and yet you creep through like a stalking in the night.

And usually I wake up confused and then soon you fade away and life goes on.

Daily Prompt: Realize

I didn’t realize what I wanted was always right in front of me.

To realize the things I was missing out on didn’t matter until it was slapped right in front of my face.

I no longer could deny that this was the way it was supposed to be.

I had to accept the decision I made and realize that it didn’t all turnout bad for there has been some great moments.

And it’s nowhere near over yet, so I will stop and think about some things and embrace these changes that made me who I am today.
