Daily Prompt: Maddening

Advertisements

I ‘m  extremely annoyed with you  when I knew our time was limited.

But, every word that was coming out of your mouth was driving me a little crazy and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was going to snap at you soon.

So I just walked away and made an excuse that I needed to get some fresh air and would see you later.

The timing was just right as I walked outside the fresh air the bright sky and I could breath again and I knew I could and would be okay when I walked back through that door.

Daily Prompt: Folly

You couldn’t be more foolish than you were the night you showed me  your true colors.

You tried to laugh it off and maybe play it down like it was a joke and you’re not that shallow.

But, I see what you’re doing and I want to smile at you because only a fool would burn a bridge it’s still standing on.

I wanted to save you at first but I realized I was getting burned the more I helped and I was tired of feeling the pain you caused.

Because, you always had to be right and even though you knew it would come and bit you in the butt.

You would just look away and not stare into the eyes that knew you were lying, but for what to save yourself because you can’t seem to shut your mouth.

I hope one day you will stop being the fool and quit saying foolish things, and just grow up and keep the nasty things to yourself.

Cold

Advertisements

air is all around me and I just want to feel the warmth again.

Too cold to stay out here for long

Too cold to truly enjoy the beauty of the day

Too cold to want to feel the wind blowing freezing air into my face.

Too cold to want to do anything but bundle up in blankets and sit by the fire and maybe read a good book.

Daily Prompt: Conundrum

Advertisements

They asked me the most conundrum question and for the life of me I couldn’t come up with an answer.

I just sat there blinking into their face like my silence would save me.

Even when my words couldn’t but, I couldn’t just sit here and say nothing when everything I stand for was on jeopardy.

So I asked for a water break and left the room hoping a little time would help me come up with the right words to say.

Daily Prompt: Flee

I want to flee from writing this post for nothing is inspiring me to write right now.

Like the excitement of something new to write about just killed the creativity flowing through my mind and, so I stare at an empty screen for far too long.

Knowing nothing great was coming out of me this late but, you see I’ve been trying to  write this piece all day to fit the way I wanted it to.

But, words don’t seem to connect to me like they did this weekend.

It’s like I’m missing the biggest piece to the puzzle but I can’t seem to find in .

So I flee from it all and hope I can write something great tomorrow.

You

Advertisements

looked at me as if  I was tattered pages in an old book and, you wanted nothing to do with me now that I had aged.

You didn’t see the value in the years of wisdom and knowledge  I had gained, for you were to interested in the newer things in life.

You didn’t see the value in old things when the younger versions are so more youthful and the updates are fast and functional.

But, when something happens and you just can’t seem to fix the problem that came up.

For you never seemed to read the direction for new things are easier to figure out now days.

So you look around until you find me and you learn to appreciate my tattered pages and hope I stick around long enough for you to learn something one of these days.

I can’t abide your decision for I don’t want to just walk away over such a small argument

So much time spent trying to build something into something great.

Only to let one little thing change everything for me and you, would be so wrong  and I don’t want to live my life with anymore regrets.

That I can’t change now even if I wanted too, the past is better left alone so I beg for you to just fix what’s wrong now and we won’t have to look back at this day and wish something else had happened.

His anger

Advertisements

is eating him alive as he realizes his losing more than he can take

he didn’t think she would walk away without a goodbye.

But, she did and it sadden him for he never meant to close her out but he was so angry at himself for what he did.

That he just knew she wouldn’t accept him now that she saw the anger he had been hiding this whole time.

But, he was wrong as he saw the hope in her eyes days before he heard the news.

He didn’t know what to do but he knew he had to do something or he would lose her forever.

He tried to reach out to the ones close to her and with some luck he found out when she was leaving and what time she needed to be at the airport.

He dressed nicely and got to the airport early and waited nervously for her to arrive, an hour went by and the anticipation was killing him.

But, soon he saw her friend Tina car pull up and then she got out and got her bags and hugged Tina good-bye.

She was so beautiful with her long curls out and wrapped up from the cold and windy morning weather.

But, where he stood he could see she was not herself and it hurt for he didn’t know if he was because of him or something he missed out on.

The minute she walked into the airport and started to walk to check in, he moved quickly to block her path.

And as those brown eyes looked up at him with shock and a slight grin appeared on her face.

He knew he had made the right move and so he spilled out all the things he should have said to her before they grew apart.

And in the end she said she forgave him and she hoped they will stay connected while she was gone and she hoped nothing but the best for him and would see him in a month or two.

That was the day their friendship grew to unbreakable and she forever remembered that day he risk it all just to make sure they stayed close and true to each other.

For he knew she always had his back like he had hers and, so they became more than friends, they became family.

Do you

Advertisements

still remember the times we laughed together and just got to know each other.

Now it feels like it was all in the past and now seeing you feels so empty and pointless, every emotion shut down.

Like I had to put myself on lockdown and you became  a stranger to me and, now  there is no reaction in me when you come around.

Your now a ghost to me and there is now no trace of you when you walk into my life now and I start to wonder if all the time we spent together was just a dream.

Because the person I see standing in front of me is not the person I thought I knew, you tower over me like a warrior in battle and  I am now the enemy and there is no way you’re letting me get close.

And in the end I just walk away and shake my head for it’s so sad for me to see you so lost that you would push me away and, I looked deep into your soul and saw no regret or emotions at all.

Daily Prompt: Missing

She will be missing so much soon.

And maybe just maybe she will be sad but, she feels at peace and so relax that she can’t seem to want to look back.

So many restless nights all leading up too this moment where sleep feels so good and worry is far from her mind.

It will all work out plays on and on in her mind as she smiles and feels so loved and is amazed by it all.

She will be missed but she knows that it’s her time now to take a risk and spread her wings and fly to a higher place in her life now.

I treasure our time  together

the times we shared laughter and anger

the times we had each other backs.

I treasure that I can call you a friend and not just acquaintance

I won’t forget you and how close we have become in such a short moment of time.

I will forever cherish my time with you.

I don’t think of this as a good-bye but as a I’ll see you again soon!

Daily Prompt: Protest

I didn’t protest against you when you did wrong.

I just couldn’t continue to stand up for you anymore.

I could not justify your actions and give you another chance when your behavior was unacceptable.

I had to trust that you would come back on your own, and realized you had gone to far on your own.

I don’t know when that day will come but,I hope you figure it out before it really is too late to save yourself.

Why are you making others feel your martyr every time you feel the pain over taking you.

We want to help but don’t turn on us and blame us for the pain your going through.

We will be your strength when you can’t handle it alone but,then don’t just turn around and say we won’t there for you when we have always been there for you.

Everything vanishing from my sight as my eyes no longer see what I once loved.

Some stay and help me accept this new change in my life.

But, others leave and vanish like the morning dawn.

Nothing seemed as dark as it does now and even when the lights come back on will I ever be the same.

Or will a part of me just vanish for good and, I’ll always feel like something is missing.
