Is it true

Preview(opens in a new tab)

the words that flow out of you are they about me.

And if so, were you ever going to tell me the truth

or was I supposed to figure it out on my own.

Did you think I would ever be found out?

Or were you hoping I never read your words you wrote that night, the words that would tear us apart.

The words that made it hard for me to go home that night, knowing you were there, pretending to be happy to see me.

The memories of the days flash back in my head as I try to see the sadness behind the smiles that you awarded me with every time I walked through that door.

The hugs you greeted me with, the kisses, the words you spoke to me

were they all lies too and when did it end for you and when was I to know your plan that it would soon be coming crashing down all around me.

The path I once thought was my end result now is blocked off with the words Impossible, don’t try to fix it for it is too late now.

Time to face the truth and call you out on it and then accept that this journey is over and the next one has just begun.

Daily Prompt: Brilliant

Your words are always so brilliant that it makes me want to dug deeper and write things with more meaning.

I get lost in all the words you write everyday and I wonder just what you do to create something so great.

So much meaning behind each word that once I read one poem, I have to write them all and in each piece I am inspired and looking forward to what may flow from my mind to my fingers.

As I write a brilliant piece some day soon that will hopefully be just as great as yours but in my words and in my way of writing.

I don’t want

to let this go but what more can one get from something that feels so predictable.

Nothing is fun anymore and everything just feels like it’s being stretched out to last longer.

In the hope that things will workout in the end and maybe they will but maybe they won’t.

Life just isn’t the same as it was before and maybe that’s on me but what can I say, I like to shake things up and not keep things the same.

I don’t like feeling bored or defeated and right now I feel like I’m fighting a losing battle and no matter how I feel the results are not good.

I don’t want to walk away and have to forget but what can I do now when all I see are the old times and the new times seem like I’m avoiding you and everything I know I need to say.

I don’t know how much longer I can keep avoiding this end this something so true but, no longer exist and I have to face the light and accept that somethings I’ve out grown and the sadness that was once there just isn’t anymore.

I have no time to look in the past when the present is now and the emotions surrounding me now are positive and lively.

The light outweighs the darkness more than it has ever been.

Daily Prompt: Forlorn

A long day and only thing she wanted was for just one thing to go right for her even if it just lasted for five minutes.

She felt hopeless that things were ever going to get better and so she pushed the boundaries more than she should have but, she knew  that nothing was ever going to work out so why chance it.

She fought so hard for this dream that the let down and hopeless outcome really didn’t sit well with her.

The truth was no matter how hard she fought she just couldn’t shake off all the negative feelings and in the end she tried less and her hope for things to ever really work out in the end was so thin that she soon lost sight of what she ever truly wanted out of this life.

Who do I

blame when it all comes burning down that night.

Should I just accept that this is the solution I was waiting for or do I make more moves and move towards the brighter things in life.

Do I pray about the upcoming things in my life

Do I pray for the people in my life and the people around me too

Do I let these people in even when some are closing the door on me

Do I become bitter over the things that I have no control over

Do I decide that I made the mistake and this all begun with me.

Or do I accept my fault with my head up high.

No regrets and no blaming anyone else if I started this all and now it ends with me

Three Line Tales, Week 101

You’ll find full guidelines on the TLT page – here’s the tl;dr:

  • Write three lines inspired by the photo prompt (& give them a title if possible).
  • Link back to this post (& check the link shows up under the weekly post).
  • Tag your post with 3LineTales (so everyone can find you in the Reader).
  • Read and comment on other TLT participants’ lines.

 

I know that our time together today is not enough time for me to tell you all the 850 ways you have made my life so much better. 

But, I know that I can tell you what’s going on and how I feel and slowly more facts will come and how I feel will follow and soon things will be a little less tense. 

So far I’ve told you 50 things and I hope I have the energy and time to tell you the other 850 reasons you’re a good man and friend too.

850 ways to tell you I care

I wish

I had all the answers for you

then maybe life wouldn’t be such a disappointment for you.

To shield you from the things that just eat me up inside when you hurt, it hurts me the most.

For you to survive and truly live this life I feel like I have to journey through the things that tore you apart and pick up all the pieces you left behind and slowly but surely build you back up.

So one day you can just simply smile because you are alive and the world isn’t as bad as you thought it was.

You will hopefully live everyday with a moment of clarity and to just stop worrying about what others think.

For you have all you ever wanted right in front of your eyes and the things you want to happen will happen and you will wonder one day who made this all possible.

And maybe I will leave a letter and I hope you will be grateful and accept that even though there are moments now that you feel alone.

Just know that I am always in front of you repairing and building the future path for you and keeping you close for the love that I have for you is stronger than you will ever know my dear boy.

One day you will be the man I always knew you could be and there will be a few people around you that you will trust and in the end they will support you through the end.

Just don’t crawl back into the hole of the hopeless for the future for you is more defined than you know.

 

Sincerely,

Your Guardian angel

I walk around sneezing to everything that comes out your mouth

and I wonder if it’s just really dusty in here or is it you that is causing me to react.

Are you the dirt and pollen that I need to remove from my life because right now

I’m just so ready to get away and not look back for the sneezing and coughing has gone away now that I don’t see or hear you.

Just you breathing at me cause me to have a rash on my neck and for you to try to hug me, makes me full on about to have a panic attack.

You come at me so strong like the wind out in a storm, you sweep around until you dial into your target and when you are locked on there is no going back.

The results of me making it out of this mess without getting really sick isn’t looking very good for me right about now.

Everyone who meets you always say it was your Winsome smile that won them over.

Your kind eyes made them just open up to you and instant they knew you could be trusted.

They knew you were a keeper and someone they needed to have in their life.

You were the treasure they had been looking for at the end of the rainbow.

100 Word Wednesday: Week 52

Photo by Stacy Wyss

Oh, how I would love to travel and not be stuck in this place for the rest of my life, a place that is less traveled.

I want to go back to the place where adventure was at every corner and the excitement was continuously growing.

The drive to do more with one’s life was something that everyone was craving and the dreams were coming true, there was barely a moment where someone would doubt that the result wouldn’t be good.

The thrill to go on the next trip was so strong.
