Daily Prompt: Symbiosis

mywords2228

Some say living with one’s parents can be quite difficult, but others will say it was the best years of their life.

But we all outgrow the living with the parents as a means of someone looking over you like a mother bird or father bird.

Making sure you did everything right and stayed out of trouble, you built a relationship with them.

Or you didn’t build a relationship with them and does that affect the way you may one day build a relationship with your child?

Sometimes it is hard to give someone something you never had or to recreate what you had in a more positive one.

In the end, you came from two people wanting to build a relationship with you or you came from ones that didn’t want to build, for they just accepted that you were something they could just handle for now.

The relationship can go from good to bad or just stay bad or not exist at all.

And if it doesn’t exist when you think about it later on in life, and if that’s the case, will it affect you or it will not change you for things that came and happen before you?

Falling

mywords2228

Your voice got me falling all over again

and I know this time I won’t have to worry about the end.

For living in the moment is all I can take right now

I’m floating on air and the music playing around me as we do our dance.

Is ever lasting and I just feel like I can do this dance all day and night and never

grow tired.

As I look into your eyes I see hope and so much joy shining through as your laughter and my mix together to make the most beautiful sound.

Were both so full of life that this moment could be all we have and I would be so happy just reliving it over and over in my memories.

I know that today could be our last and so I don’t want to waste it fighting over anything but just breathing in the fresh air and running inside for some warmth.

Today will be spent the right way and no cold air can freeze this loving moment we have together.

As the words pour out your mouth and I catch them all and tuck them away in a special place in my mind.

I smile up and you and I know falling for you this time will be my last for the happiness I gained with you could last for a lifetime.

A lifetime I willing to fight with you if only those words are true.

Daily Prompt: Meaningless

mywords2228

You said that you would always keep your promises when it came to me

but I soon found out that was a lie.

And you would show up like you did what you said, taking the credit of something someone else did.

Your apologies all the words you spit out were meaningless to me for I saw you for what you were.

A liar !

I saw what you were doing and to you it was nothing but a small white lie and even though you had a closet full of these little small white lies.

No harm was coming of it for you felt you had not got caught, so there was no reason to tell the truth.

Your words were meaningless not only to me but to everyone around you, for you didn’t just lie to me.

You lied to the people who had always been there for you and you didn’t even seem to care that your lie had end years of friendships.

Because you did not do anything wrong at least that’s what you keep repeating to yourself now that this is the situation you have to live with.

I would feel sorry for you but the five  chances I gave you just didn’t seem worth fighting for anymore, you knew what was going on and just didn’t care.

Nightmare

mywords2228

You tried to come back into my life-like a bad dream.

Your like the shadows in my room at night, only you don’t scary me anymore.

I know you are just the shadow of a t-shirt hanging in my closet.

But, as a child you were a monster reaching out to get me in my sleep.

Like a nightmare you haunt me now and then as if you can’t seem to move on in life.

For something’s are better left in the past.

Time moves on and on and the safe feeling that you are gone is always around.

But, some where there is doubt in the back of my mind.

Knowing you are just waiting around the corner.

Just to say hello, not seeming to get the hint.

All I have to say is goodbye and awake up this is just a nightmare.

I’m not really here wanting to see you.

Daily Prompt: Ordinary

mywords2228

Nothing was ordinary about the day I met you.

The sun was shining brightly and I wasn’t looking for love that day.

But, you smiled my way and went out of your way to say hi and I just knew with that friendly act.

You would be more than just a stranger to me soon, and I was right as you came around more and more in the next couple of days.

You were 100% focus on me and I didn’t know why and I didn’t want to let you in for I didn’t know you and I felt like you just pushed your way into my life.

And I didn’t quite feel like I was enough or worth your time, you seem to have it all and didn’t seem to be an ordinary guy.

I couldn’t see where I fit into your life and the story  that was being written for us.

Being a not so ordinary woman got me an unbelievable man who saw something in me on just an ordinary day.

Daily Prompt:Symptom

mywords2228

My symptoms are being over-tired

lacking of creativity.

Normal life symptoms that can tear one down

if you choose to give up.

Why not just rest for the thoughts and the words meant to come out

will come out in due time.

So much pressure on doing things right the first time have you frustrated

and just so focus on that one task that you let time slip away from you.

And you miss out on the what if’s and what could have been.

You try at the time not to let the things that you missed out on bother you but sometimes

when you slow down those missed moments come to mind.

And you think about it for a couple of minutes and then you decide I can’t change what didn’t happen back than.

But, I will change it now in this moment and focus on the things I can do now to make my symptoms less painful and less life threating.

Daily Prompt: Acceptance

mywords2228

 

It took me awhile to accept that I didn’t need your acceptance to be happy.

Your praise was nice but,I knew my worth way before you came along.

You see I had to learn the hard way to find out who I was meant to  be.

I didn’t listen to my gut and ended down on my butt and luck.

The world seemed cold and dark and just plain lonely.

But, one day I was helped up and from that day on my worth has shined through.

So I hope you know now your acceptance is like going back to being a fool.

And well I don’t plan on going back to being a fool ever again.

One Chance

mywords2228

is all you get sometimes

and once you mess up.

It haunts your mind every now and then

You wished things could have been different.

But, it’s all in the past now even though it always comes back

When you less expect it.

It was a life lesson you had to learn and now you just appreciate it all and don’t do anything that would cross the line.

You keep to yourself and let only a few in and you don’t regret the things that you gave up just to wake up with a smile on your face.

You realized there is so much more to life and it’s time to just live in the moment and not want to grow up too fast.

Because, when that time is gone it’s gone and you just have to accept where you are now and make the best of it.

Daily Prompt: Minimal

mywords2228

Your words spark a little fire in me

and not in a good way.

I was so mad that I wanted to say something but

I knew the storm that would come out was not worth spilling out on you.

You were not a big enough deal to ruin not only the rest of my day but others around me

You wanted to feel important even though you were no better than the ones before you.

So with a deep breath I let out the small amount of frustration that you brought on me and

moved on with no regrets.

And so you faded away from my mind as if you had not even came around.

Anything

mywords2228

but the truth rolled out your mouth that day

and I could tell that you thought you were in the clear.

You tried so hard to keep a straight face but I saw right through it and the truth is I feel so

sad for you for you thought a lie would save you.

But, all you had to say was the truth and just maybe you could have walked away that day with no tears in your eyes.

But, you choice the lie and so the lie was what you ended living with and not me and I don’t regret a moment or second.

For what I said was every bit the truth and it really did set me free that day.

I felt alive and in control of my words and emotions and soon I will be able to smile again even when a  thought of you floats through my mind until your gone for good.
