Their cleverness with words drew me in
the emotions they were able to capture and display.
Were impressive and I could only think and believe they had to be some type of genius
for the words just worked together so beautifully and the picture that was painted in front of my eyes.
I will not ever forget.

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).
Write to me like we used to do, pen and paper
where I can read your handwriting and trace every letter on the paper.
Let the ink dry so that I can save your letters and read them on days when I need words of encouragement.
Your words were always beautiful and brought peace to my heart and always made me feel the love you had poured out for me.
I will always cherish your words close to my heart for the rest of my life.

I love seeing the little elderly ladies that still dress up so nicely.
And their clothes still be fashionable and they know they look good for they eat up all the compliments.
They are the kindest and funny people who just enjoy everyone’s company.
They are always smiling and seem to be having a great day.
They say thank you all the time and they mean it too.
Their smiles reach their eyes and you just look forward to seeing them.

They deny you the job you want
but you can’t be reliable.
But, you still fight for them to give you a chance
and when they do you blow it.
But, you still can’t accept that the deny is because you choose to do the things you wanted to do.
You deny your own responsibility in the way your life has gone.
But, you do keep fighting for the things that you believe in and maybe one day it will all work out for you.

I want to say I’m interested in you
but who are you and where are you.
The days that could be spent with you are spent being lost in books
Being busy at work doing the things I slightly like half the time.
If only the things I wrote about were true when it came to you and who you were to
get lost in your eyes and your arms and your laugh.
You would interest me by just being you and there wouldn’t be a moment that you haven’t spent just doing the things you love.

I was never really athletic and I don’t regret that as I did enjoy watching sports now and then.
Like basketball and then Soccer
But, what I’m not good at never stopped me for not trying new things for
I would find what I was good at and I’m happy with things I am and the things I’m not.

falls on her life and the noises that light up her life
were nowhere to be found.
Her once colorful life was now nothing but dark grays and black
everything she saw now just seemed so lifeless and hopeless and a dead-end.
Nothing was going to break through the cracks of this new darkness and she didn’t want it to either.
She simply just gave up for the fight had been too much for her and now it was time to just let go and let the storm carry through it out and wherever she may land would be where she was meant to be.
The hope and light that used to be inside her just was gone on and in this life there just didn’t seem like it was possible for her get it back anytime soon.
Days turn into weeks and nothing seemed to be improving for her and those who tried to help lift her up were slightly giving up hope and were about to just accept this was who she had become and they just needed to accept it and love her even more now.

To be well liked by so many people
may have seemed like a good thing
at one moment of your life.
But, now you enjoy your alone time
that excludes other people and the peace and quiet.
Unless you listen to you favorite songs well getting lost in a book that keeps you reading for days.
This book you read is one of those well liked books and every time you are out and a bout reading it, someone always comments on how great and wonderful it is.
And for once you just want some peace and quiet and don’t want anyone to want to hangout around you and you feel right now I need to be unlike and just left to do what I want in peace.
So, being popular or have a very well liked object it’s just best to keep to yourself until maybe everyone gets tired of seeing you and will fade into the background.

my eyes and for a moment I feel the peace that I’ve been looking for.
The peace that finally puts me at ease.
No more feeling so lost and hopeless in these moments that define my life and who I am.
Days seem so long only to come to an end so much sooner than I am ready to let them go, I feel like my drive is running on low and even though I need so much more energy to go on.
I still hold on hoping the right words will come out before my head hits the pillow and I am out for the night.
Even though sometimes it is no longer night-time when I go to bed and then soon the light is shining straight at me and sleep has faded from my mind and the day has begun.
Even though my eyes are still tired and my body just doesn’t want to get up, I somehow get back up and start my day in the hope that I will find my way again in this thing called life.

I’m living this life and lately it feels like I’m walking around in circles
and the hope of getting anything done just doesn’t seem possible.
I feel stuck and even if I wanted to move forward it’s like I’m sinking in quicksand
and I don’t have the time or energy to get myself out.
I’m stuck and the path one would have to take and help me seems to be not the safest one and so I wait here hoping it won’t be more than one hour before I find my way again.
I’m struggling to hold on and the mountain I have to climb to find the answers to my life now is so hard and high that it will take some time before I am safe and above all that is going on right now.

You were always funny when it came to making someone else laugh
but you lack of confident sometimes made the haste jokes about yourself not so funny.
But, when you were in a good mood it always so freeing to be around you.
Everyone laughing and enjoying themselves every time we got together
You were always in the center of someone having a good time and you made sure to put a smile on everyone’s face.
They said you could have been a comedian but you choose your love for music and used your voice to reach everyone in a different way.
And until this day I’m happy and proud you choose the path you did and now it’s even great to see your face once again and hear your laugh that lights up a room.

I see you and everything that you are going through
my hand is reaching out to help you.
I know everyone seems to be far away from caring about you but, our hearts and hands are closer than you know.
If only you would stop for a moment and look around and notice that not only was I always there for you.
I always gave you the space you needed, so that when you were ready I’d step back in and save you from anything.
My last breath would be for you and anything else you needed I’d make sure you had for no sacrifice I could make for you would be too much or too great.

She started to think that maybe everything that had gone wrong
had been her fate because she had done everything she could do.
Her words were let out before she was ready to say them.
They launched across the room and landing into your ears as you heard everything
she was saying about you.
You don’t want to get on the same path as her as she continues to say such things and I’m sucked for she seemed like your biggest supporter.
But, now she launch nothing but a nasty war on you and you don’t deserve the plan she is causing.

The moment I met you felt like fate
for everything I could possibly want or need just fell into place.
There are moments of struggle but as I work through it, it always works out in the end
Your voice, your comfort it gives me strength in times when I feel like things can’t get any better.
I have you to fall back on but I know your someone who will be around when the times are good as they are bad.
You are my beginning and my ending and my fate with you is worth more than anything this world could offer me.

in a hole
with no possible way to get out.
I try to think of ways that would end up with me
looking down at that hole and knowing I made it out.
But, even when it feels like I’ve made it out the next day
I’m back where I started and lately it feels like I can’t shake it off.
I need to pour dirt in the hole so there is no way to get back down there again
but only time will tell if I make it out of this hole with all that am still attached.
