Daily Prompt: Yarn

Our connection used to be  strong like a metal chain

hard to break.

But, somewhere along our way we got lost and that metal chain turned into

yarn and it begun to come apart so much easier than before.

When one end would come apart I would try to tie it back together and hope that it would last.

But as more pieces of the yarn begun to fall apart I started to wonder if it was worth the effort to keep it all together.

I was over tired from trying to keep something together when it was naturally falling apart.

Maybe it’s time to throw this yarn away and let new connections grow in its place.

I just

got these feelings and no amount of time away

is going to make them stop growing.

A lifetime of feelings for people who may not

care anymore.

For those who don’t know that I ever existed for

I’m just another person walking in the crowd

Another mouth to feed.

Another life to save with words or with God

To do better for me or for you.

To put him before you and anyone else

To tell you that you are not a priority in my life.

To live life knowing what is going to happen or to

wonder what possibly could happen next and that it can’t out do what just happened.

So many emotions playing out as I listen to this song, relatable to my life right now or how can someone go through that.

It would be so painful and confusing and hopeless in the end.

But, they went through it just to get to the other side of their life

and to see the world they love in another point of view.

The future I thought, u thought was going to be it for me or for you

is not the one we are destined to live out.

Daily Prompt: Perfume

It was  Saturday, his favorite day of the week for

his favorite customer would come by his store wearing the

only perfume he liked.

The smell was so sweet and fresh like the roses his

mother always had one the kitchen countertop.

She is always friendly and the perfume that she wore was

not the only thing he liked about her.

Her smile always light up the room and he couldn’t stop staring

every time she smiled his way.

He hoped one day that he would get up the courage to ask her

out and spend the rest of his life with his sweet-smelling lady.

I stood

there and just take it all in as your words wash down me like water

I’m frozen in time as each word echo’s in my ear.

With no end to the words that end everything that felt right to me

I thought finally things were looking up for me and  then it was all gone.

I felt the jolt of energy just leave me as the energy I had that day just drain

from me as my spirit broke into a million pieces and then came my heart.

And not long after all that I completely fell apart.

The sound out of me sounded like a wounded animal begging for help and no one

ever came to help me.

So all alone I stood after you took all I had taken away from me just by your words:

“I hate you”, and I never loved you. But I loved how much you ate up everything that came out of my mind”.

Then you laughed because you had tricked me into getting close to you just to turn around and tell me how you really felt.

You always hated me for being me and not caring about the shit others threw at me but for you it was like winning the biggest award.

Hurting me was a game you risked it all just to make sure I was left picking up everything.

For you never believed in romance and love and to make me believe everything you did and said.

Was amazing and for you at the end of the night you slept like a baby, as I tossed and turned and lost apart of me that day.

It would take a while for me to gain my strength back and just as long to trust and love someone again.

Long day ends with me

looking and feeling extremely tired.

My body just drags on until I can’t drag on anymore.

I feel like I have aged in a matter of hours

and even through I try to fuel up.

My body says no and wants to give up and rest.

But, my mind is like no we have to finish on a good note.

And in the end as my body enters through the door of my home.

It wins and sleep is all I focus on as I drag myself to bed.

Every

time the day wines down and it’s time to lay my head on my pillow

you pop into my mind and so much peace just falls over me.

Your more important to me then you will ever know and I don’t know

if you ever found out would you understand.

Or would you take it the wrong way and would things turn

so awkward.

I don’t want to lose you so I keep a lot to  myself just to keep the peace between us

for I don’t want to fight with you anymore.

I just want to spend the time I have left with you on a good note for I’m not promised tomorrow and so I Just want this moment I have with you to be amazing.

So when I’m gone that memory would be so strong that even when you think you have forgotten it comes back so strong that you think it happened just yesterday.

Daily Prompt: Blanket

So cold out all I want is to stay inside

and be wrapped in my blanket.

My blanket is like a shield that keeps out all the stress and worry.

And all I want to do is stay in it and not deal with my daily responsibilities.

I want to be free again and not have been on a schedule.

I just want to get lost in my music or movies.

while wrapped up in my blanket with no care in the world but to relax.

Letting my mind not have to do much thinking for once.

I’m

not going to stop looking for you.

The day you left was a surprise for me

the things they told you were not true.

But, they knew it would send you packing

and it would leave me all alone and an easy target.

I stayed and took every blow they fired at me but, today

I’ve had enough.

And I’m on my way to find you and live my life out with you and our

child.

The three of us can fight any battle together for you are my shield and I am your sword

and together we are unstoppable.

But  apart we can only fight for so long without failing and fall down with so many wounds.

It may take days and weeks or even months but, I will find you all on my own and I

won’t ever let you go.

You won’t ever doubt me again or even doubt our love for you will trust me and I know that you know when I’m lying.

But, you were hurt and angry before more lies came firing at you and you had no way to protect yourself from it all.

And so I understand why you left but when we become one again there will be no going back.

Your heart will heal and so will mine and the bond that is there  will grow stronger as the years go on.

We will slowly forget about the bad memories of the past and make more wonderful and joyful memories that will cover up our scars.

Daily Prompt: Roots

So many roots to pull if I want

to pull away from this all.

I don’t want to wait around and be thrown out like a dead plant.

I want some love and attention

I don’t want to be forgotten

I don’t want to stand around

and be invisible to you.

What roots do I have left here

in this place that is slowly suffocating me.

Always

sad and wanting so much

from this life.

That sometimes the love that is present

is ignored as you just don’t see it anymore.

The disappointments have made you lose hope

that sometimes things take time and space.

You want to be mad and upset but in the end you

can’t really bring yourself to let the anger stay for long.

Your tired and you want to sleep away the worry and the

pain but, you know that the day holds so much more for you.

And laying in bed all day isn’t going to help but it’s time to just have

a little bit more hope that the rainbow will come after the storm.

And what’s left behind is better off then it was before everything you thought was important was taken away.
