His anger

mywords2228

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

mywords2228

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: Hike

mywords2228

Dealing with you is like a long hike

up a mountain.

Going up it at first is easy and breezy then

it begins to become a struggle to get to the top.

You become out of breath and a bottle of water is needed.

But even than you don’t become easy to go on and, many times I just want to give up and turn back.

Yet, the view from the top is what I’ve been looking forward to so I continue and once at the top the view is amazing.

But once the amazing feeling wears off, I’m not sure I’d make the climb again.

Daily Prompt: Together

mywords2228

Together we’re unstoppable

two peas in a pod.

Our smiles are always so bright and laugher is never to far behind.

Even when we grow apart and live our lives two different ways.

I’m sure if we came back together it would seem different but we would embrace the growth we did apart.

I will always support you even when you forget me but at some part of our life we were meant to be best friends.

Now what we are is not so defined but that doesn’t mean I don’t care.

Together in our childhood memories and now so far apart but still I cheer for you.

My forever childhood friend, forever my other sister.

Daily Prompt: Mistake

mywords2228

I want to say it was a mistake the night the stars twinkled in the night sky

and your smile shined so bright.

The night we stayed up so late that I was so tired the next day, the time I got

to spend with you was worth a thousands nights of bad sleep.

We talked about everything and connected on so much it seemed like the time spent apart was all worth it for this moment.

How could I say this was a mistake because I’m so tired that my eyes can’t stay open for one more moment.

I would be a fool to say the loss sleep was more important than spending time with you and, to tell you the truth I’d do it all over again.

Sometimes  the word mistake isn’t needed because you were happy to spend that time doing what you love or spending it  with someone you care about and in the end the memory of the moment will live on.

Whether your still friends are not.

Reckless

mywords2228

I want to be reckless and get lost in you

to feel my hair in the wind.

I want to stand in the rain with you and focus on nothing but you as the rain washing over us.

To have the moments when time doesn’t matter or exist because were together.

To wake up in the morning  knowing it was not just a dream but,this is how my life will be for a life time.

For I’m yours and your mine and together we will always have our reckless, silly moments together.

I knew

mywords2228

Things were different when life seemed to pass me by.

When my memories of days seemed so foggy.

Yesterday seem like a lifetime ago and things I did, I can not recall.

Maybe it wasn’t important to remember it all or maybe my brain is to full of the past to be able to focus on the present.

And take note of the things changing now and how much the walls in my life are coming up more.

I’m well guarded and yet it doesn’t stop my heart from caring behind the glass it’s locked in.

It beats on and brightly as if nothing could harm it and even if it did it would forgive.

It’s the one thing in my life that doesn’t change for my heart is pure and caring and maybe it’s full of loving people and things and one dog.

But it knows it always has room for more, if only more would take a chance on it.

#MayBook Prompt, Writing Fiction

The Nightmare

mywords2228

It all started with me leaving the house

That night, it was so dark and silent

Too silent if you ask me but I kept walking.

As I entered the forest that night all I thought

About was this is the quickest way to your house.

But as I got deeper into the woods, I swear something

Touched my jacket.

But it was just a branch I hope, yet I couldn’t bring myself

To look back and find out.

For I’ve heard the stories of the hands and teeth that come out in

The night.

But I’ve always laughed it off for no ones really had proof to prove

If it was real.

However, as I got closer to edge and could see the light on your front porch I’ve never been so happy and relieved at the same time.

Then it happened so quick, something grabbed me and as I was jerked backward

I heard something say: “don’t fight us, you belong to us Dawn and its time to connect.”

I started to really freak out inside but I  fought smarter this time and as I ripped myself away from my old blue jean jacket.

I looked back and I saw the hands holding my jacket, they were tan human hands and above them were teeth.

Sharp teeth and they were smiling at me, and even though I knew I had to run and get away.

I knew I needed proof, so I quickly took out my phone and snapped picture after picture.

Until they came at me again, so I ran as fast as I could and I didn’t stop until you opened the door.

Peter: Dawn what’s wrong, you look like you seen a ghost and where’s your jacket its freezing out here?

Dawn: They took my jacket and I didn’t see a ghost, I saw the hands and teeth in the forest. Oh my gosh Peter the stories are true!!

Peter: No way, I’ve lived here my whole life and nothing ever got me in that forest Dawn. You must have brushed up against a branch and got scared.

Dawn: No Peter, it wasn’t a branch and i’ ve got proof to prove it too you.

Dawn pulls out her phone and shows Peter all the photos and Peter no longer doubts what she told him.

But he fears what she said the teeth said to her,for Peter’s grandmother has lived in this town all her life.

When he was little she told him  a story of her Native American tribe from the past.

And in that story the tree’s take a girl every 16 years, and use her youth to make the forest thrive for as long as she lives.

As all the pieces come together Peter knows his friend would soon be gone, he hugs her and tells her it will be okay and they must rest for the night.

When Dawn has fallen asleep, Peter goes to his grandmother to seek advice and a way to help Dawn.

How we connected and kept Connecting!

mywords2228

I didn’t know we would connect this way

for I didn’t think we would end up being friends.

But for some reason I wanted to be your friend so bad

for the connection between us was strong before I truly

knew you.

And then we bonded over something we both were dealing with,

and knowing someone else was struggling like I was seemed to help.

Me be strong and continue on.

Over time the friendship grew and you were like family to me

and when we were apart  the connection was still strong.

Even when the connection was strain, nothing truly could make

it break and as we grew up the connection changed, but we still

seem to connect even when our lives take us on different path.

#MayBook Prompt

I’m just me and your just you!

mywords2228

I see you and your smile captures me

And I fall just a little bit inside.

But I take my time to figure you out

So I truly know who’ve I’ve fallen for.

Things  start out like a dream that I’ve

Been able to live in everyday, oh lucky me.

Soon reality kicks in and everything takes a

rough spin and nothing seems to be able to stop

This pain  that has no end.

And when it ends, sadness is over flowing but

Soon your words left behind give me strength.

To go on with a smile on my face and a laugh

Waiting to escape my lips again one day.

But today is bright, and I owe it all to the time

I had with you.

My moment, my memory!

mywords2228

It’s Saturday but here is  yesterdays Free flow Fridays with Laura again! You can find this weeks writing prompt on her website: Free Flow Fridays I’m so excited to see what I can come up with for this exercise.

DSC01131

This moment, how my  excitement of seeming

this water flowing so beautifully.

I guess that day was exciting and was a great memory of friends that are dear to me.

Like this river the memories of that day has floated away and every now and then

I look over my pictures of that day and I remember how I felt in that moment.

The excitement was overwhelming and filled me with joy a moment, a memory I will

store away in a folder for another day.

Here I am

mywords2228

with my  arms wide open

ready to let it all in.

I’m not afraid to put it

out there my words, myself.

As the sun shines down on this day

I am who I am suppose to be and I’m

so full with truth, with love and understanding today.

That I feel like I could burst any minute now and

shower you all with the light and joy inside me

that I want to smile at you all.

And hope my smile just breaks through the sadness,

the disappointment, the loneliness or whatever emotions

your feeling.

And make you feel like even when you feel like it’s too much that

I’m here a friend, who may be a stranger but true to knowing life

may not bring a smile to your face everyday.

But that you can pocket my smile, and my joy, my light and pull it out

when you feel yours isn’t quite strong enough today.

I think

mywords2228

I could be someone you like

because I’m not going anywhere

Even on your worse days.

I will stand by and do what you need of me

But don’t think I won’t put you in your place

when you need to calm down or try to push me away.

I’m not afraid to stand up for myself and for that

I think you will like someone like me.

Daily Prompt: Giggle

mywords2228

WordPress Daily Prompt for yesterday.

You make me giggle

when we chase each other

around.

Like children again  we have nothing in the world to worry about.

When simple giggles are all we shared.

we’d roll around in the grass not caring if we get dirty.

Just glad to spend time together and to let the giggles fly around.

Until we realize we’re not young anymore, but let’s not let the giggles die away just because of our age.

Writing Prompt: Melt With You/ Music

mywords2228

This piece was inspired by Free Flow Friday’s by My friend Laura a fellow blogger ,it’s a great event. Click here for the event: Free Flow Friday’s

I’m trying to see through the mask you put up as soon as the music came on.

You try  to just fake the fun and move to the beat.

Until we become lost in the moment as we move our bodies to the beat.

We smile at each other for a lifetime as the day melts away.

As we enjoy the melody of this song together.

Even when we grow apart, I’ll think of that moment and smile about that time we had together.

We will always have that song, that day and those smiles that melted away our troubles that day.
