You stood

mywords2228

there looking at me with so much love something I hadn’t seen in a long time

the moment seemed like a fairytale.

Too good to be true or real, My heart beating so fast as you walked towards me and opened your arms.

And nothing I could do could stop myself from falling into those arms and feeling  like I was finally home.

You whisper in my ear to let it all out and just like that you were my strength as I became so vulnerable just then in your arms.

You carried me from the darkness and into the light as if I weighted nothing.

Without the baggage I left in the dark, life seemed much easier to take and breathe in as the day went on and spent sometime with you.

I didn’t know I had been waiting for this moment until this moment came along and slapped me in the face.

Realizing it’s not over yet

100 Word Wednesday: Week 33

Image credit: Bikurgurl, 2017

Capturing all the moments spent with my friends these last couple of days  has me thinking about how much I’ve missed from their lives.

Because I was trying so hard to keep my own life together and now that I’m with them I can’t imangine what my life would be like now if I hadn’t reached out a couple of months ago and planned this trip for us to take.

Would we have talked anytime sooner or would I continue to live my life regreting that I had pushed them all away for I just needed a moment to be worthy of them again.

Like the skeleton of this dinosaur there are many bones too discover in my past and many bones to my future.

Each path is rocky some point of the journey and even though I enjoyed so many there are paths I don’t want to  travel down again.

Each step I take now is carefully placed for I don’t want to make the same mistake again and I want to make sure what I have left of this journey is memorable so those that follow after me will have learned a thing or two.

Daily Prompt: ooze

mywords2228

The poison oozed from her eyes and mouth as her body tried to push

all the poison out of her system.

They thought it would only take some hours for she was not afraid and was using

all the strength she had left to get the evil out of her and to be pure and safe from the poison that was flowing through her veins that night.

It took days and nights and weeks for her to get her true strength back.

She now knew more about the poison that had been inside her and she knew who had done it.

She laid low for a while to keep her enemies off her trail and let them think she didn’t make it or that she was still not to full up to her true power yet.

They play together everyday so dedicated to the art of their music

people who are locals come back sometime to listen to their old and new songs

the music is so peaceful and wonderful to your ears.

The lyric’s are so relatable and real, they always bring tears to those that are going through or been through those pains or joy’s in their lives.

They play for their love of music but sometimes a little money goes a long way for them.

They enjoy seeing the different emotions on their attendances faces.

It’s Friday and like every Friday Julia and her family make pizza and invite over some friends and watch a movie.
The pizza is what everyone comes for but everyone always stay even after the pizza is gone and the movie is over.
Just sit together and talk about all the things that happen during the week and catch up before they all enjoy a long weekend apart or together.

Daily Prompt: Solitary

mywords2228

Living a life of solitary would seem so sad

But, sometimes we just need to be alone

away from the things that seem to be too much to handle at the time.

A time to finally enjoy the things we have been waiting to have time to do

as you  get lost in story after story, only to come up for food and bathroom breaks.

You smile because it’s been so long since you got to finish a book in a day or two.

You feel so free as you take long walks with no rush or hurry to get back to anything.

Your days seem long but enjoyable for once and you take your time to get everything done.

You run for the door after a long day at work and look forward to the long weekend ahead.

For you have so much to do on your own and you look forward to the peace and the quiet that will surely follow.

Daily Prompt: Willy-Nilly

mywords2228

She didn’t like to do things without some type of directions

but she sat behind the wheel of her car.

She realized she left the directions at home and her phone was no help at this point.

So she just kept driving until she saw some familiar places and soon she arrived at a big house with blue windows and a huge glorious garden that was on the left side of the house.

Cars lined up on the one side of the lane, as she drove up the hill and found a spot close but not to close to the car next you her.

She was greeted by the security in front of the house and asked for her name and I.D. and then was let in to the most beautiful entry way she ever seen.

The 20 feet ceiling with crystal chandelier hanging was her main focus as she walked through the door.

She loved the cherry wood and paintings on the wall but she begun to feel nervous as she got closer to the dinning and kitchen where she knew everyone was hanging around .

She didn’t want to seem like a random person just coming  into their circle of friends even though she knew a couple of them since childhood.

She felt things this time seem a lot worse than before.

Maybe

mywords2228

I’ve waited too long but right now this feeling is just floating in the air and the feeling of it is so strong, I fear it will knock me right over.

My fear for this to be gone grows everyday and every night that the words are left unsaid.

I don’t know if I should say something because what if I don’t really mean it and then once said it can’t be taken back.

It’s time to truly let you back in or just let you go and move on with no ties left behind in the end.

For I can’t keep moving forward with a piece of you holding me back at the same time.

In a way I have moved on but the memories of you just seem to stay even though everyone else has already faded from my mind and heart.

Why does it seem the connection I had with you is still holding on when at times I don’t think about you at all.

Like the memories of you only happen during certain seasons of the year and other times it’s like your far from my mind and then it’s like you pop up like an email from an old I didn’t expect to hear from again.

Friendship

mywords2228

Our friendship is something I look forward to

the talks we share are so great and the time invested  into this friendship

is the reason it hasn’t fallen apart like the rest.

I don’t take you for granted and I care about the things that are going on with you rather they are small or large.

I have your back even when you just want to be alone and just want to do everything on your own.

I tell you to not go down the same path I went for some times I feel so hollow inside and time has not yet healed those wounds of my mistakes.

You are my fresh air when life just feels like I can’t breathe anymore, you are the strength I lean on when the world’s ugliness is just too much for me to handle.

You are my light when the darkness is all I see in my life and every where I go.

You are my antidote to the poison of this world that tries to bring me down now and then.

I didn’t

mywords2228

see the love in your eyes anymore and just like that.

Before you could say the words, I knew this was over and I had lost you for good.

There was no going back and so I left you in the dust with all the old memories of my life.

I moved on to a point where when  I saw you walk past me the other day I didn’t call out to you.

I let you disappear in the hopes our path would not cross again.

Time

mywords2228

was on her side as she counted down the moment she would be free

she had to contain her excitement as she quickly walked out the door.

No schedule to follow just doing the things that she loved for the next

two days with no worry insight and no hurry at all either.

She was free and she had so much time on her hand that she was just so excited and

determine to do as much as she could in the time that she had.

For sooner than later she would be walking a straight line with barely anything ways to break out of the cage she will be in.

So she must be focused now if she was going to accomplish the impossible so  soon.

She had nothing holding her back and she wouldn’t let anything get in her way as her clock started counting down at midnight.

Maybe I

mywords2228

want to say more to you but the words just won’t come

and so I find anything to just distract me until I fall asleep.

And talking to you is forgotten and I wake up with so many

things to do that I just don’t play attention to the things that I can’t find the words to express.

I don’t know when it happened but it did and I know that no matter how much

time will go by that there is no going back and things will never be the same and that’s

something I have to live with and maybe one day you will read this but for now it’s what it is.

Where this will end is unclear but, I know that I am not the women I used to be and you have to accept that now because later will be too late anyways for me.

Daily Prompt: Temporary

Sometimes the way I feel is only temporary.

And is gone before I know it

but in that moment it seems sometimes so intense.

And the next day that feeling has faded away and I accept that it was a test and I got through it in the end.

tltweek56

 

 

You stood out so bright and red, that I could resistant but to stand next to you in my purple outfit.

I felt so bold and happy to find something as styles and beautiful as me and, for the first time in years I wasn’t afraid to get my photo taken.

So I leaned on you for some support and looked off into the distance as I became the focal of your photo.
