I am

Advertisements

cold as I walk through the darkness and my thoughts are all full of what I wish I could do right now.

I walk and I stumble through things as you demand so much from me.

I wonder when I became your slave and when my voice no longer belongs to me.

Am I my person or do you own me now? And if you do, then why am I doing better than you?

Am I to look at you for direction for I feel if I do, to be lost, we will both be forever?

I am so tired from the list of things I am required to do so that you can sit on your throne and do nothing but look like you are in charge.

I want to say so much but I just don’t care anymore and at this point you can be in charge for it just so much easier to be without a voice and let you lead for I know we will both be in the darkness soon or in the fire for you can’t save me or yourself at this point.

Words tend to enlighten me

inspire me

hurt me

make me happy

make things so difficult that you just dont want to enjoy them anymore.

Words you twist and turn me inside out and yet I keep coming back to you with no regret.

Just hope that you will bring me more joy and delight.

Oh words what will I do with you in the end, I guess I will just have to wait and see what happens next.

Daily Prompt: Invitation

Advertisements

To be invited into your life would mean a lot to me.

But, it requires me to wait for that moment when you give me the invitation

and I accept it with no hesitation.

Yet, playing it off like I wasn’t waiting here patiently hoping you would invite me into an experience I knew would end up being amazing.

Two days until I know what I’ve been waiting for was really worth the wait and, will bring nothing but joy into my life.

Daily Prompt: Waiting

Advertisements

I was waiting for you and even as the sun went down.

I continued to wait for you even as it became dark and cold I waited.

All bundled up with a cup of hot chocolate near by just in case it got too cold.

As my hope of you showing up started to dim out like the street light above me.

A shadow starts to move towards me in a hurry and I’m relieved as you step into the light.

All out of breath from running from the train station to meet me.

You said you’re sorry but the train was late and your phone died.

As your breathing becomes more normal again.

I’m glad you’re okay and now we can leave for I’m tired of waiting and would like to get out the cold.

But, the truth is I’d wait for you no matter how long or what kind of weather I have to face.

Just to end up seeing you smiling and your arms wrapped around me.
