Shelter

I can feel it coming nowThat heavy winter’s snowThat drives me deep inside myselfTo hideWhen the summer’s light and warmthGoes south to spread its loveI can’t help but lie awake at nightAnd cryAnd the world just seems too dauntingAnd the memories all seem haunti..

You

It's hard to find the perfect wordsTo tell you how I feelI know that life's been hard on youI know your pain is realYou built up walls around your heartOf brick and ice and steelTo let another woman inWas a choice that seemed surrealSo you locked yourself away from loveTo heal your broken soulTo let..

Blue

They say blue is the color of sadness ...Oh, she's blue...That if your future is blue Expect pain heartbreak &n..

I Remember

A very (very) old poem, written over a decade ago after my first real relationship came to an end

Just Breathe

Something that may be triggering to those who have suffered sexual abuse.

Blue and Grey

They were blue in the beginning. Bright and vivacious, Some even said they sparkled. I told myself it was because of him.But as time passed, the good Turned bad.The compliments Turned into insults.Words that once set my soul on fire Now made my bod..

Paw Prints

I recently put my cat down, and, well, I grieve best through written form. Rest easy, mama. I miss you

Until We Meet Again

It's a song. It says it's a poem. But it's a song. The type lies.

My Book of Shadows

Written for the Rhyme It! contest and I'm actually pretty impressed with it since it was written on the spot! <3

Here's To (Goodbye)

The blue and pink is meant to suggest a male or female singing. An ellipse is meant to suggest a pause in the song.

Colors

My soul was lost and wandering,The darkness closing in.My hope for life abandoned meAnd said, “You'll never win.”The world around was drenched in grayAnd voices dimmed to mute.So long, I'd cried to deafened earsAnd suffered cold abuse.And then like a ray of sunshine,You brought color to ..

Opposites Attract

His eyes are clear as icicles,His hair so purely white,A crooked grin to make girls swoon,A smirk to cause men fright.His skin's as light as sun-bleached barkHis voice can pierce the night.His soul is drenched in darkness butIs straining for the light.He grew up knowing discipline;He grew up knowing..

Bipolar

It's been a rough week...

Fatal

Haven't decided if I want to leave it a poem or add music and make it lyrics

It's Midnight (I Miss You Again)

It's Midnight (I Miss You Again)The ring's been on her fingerSince the day she threw the dirt,Since the day she watched the coffin dropAnd felt her first true hurtBut every year on Halloween,Her pain subsides one day.The husband that she lost returnsTo say all that's left to say"No matter how much t..

Broken

Inspiration came from a heartbreaking tragedy. But that's usually how it happens with me.

I Can't Say Goodbye

Ijust can’t say goodbye to youI’vetried for years on endTosay goodbye is to admitI’velost my closest friend Icatch your laughter on the windAndhave to smile backIfeel you hold my hand wheneverStrengthis what I lack ..

Feelings

She sees red.Her fists clench,Her lips quiver,Her stomach tightens,Her voice shakes,And she's angry.She sees black.Her spine tingles,Her hands tremble,Her knees weaken,Her eyes shut,And she's scared.She sees blue.Her tears fall,Her heart aches,Her words plead,Her arms search,And she's sad.She sees p..

Butterfly Kisses

Entirely, to a T, based off the song "Butterfly Kisses" by Bob Carlisle. It has always been my favorite song, and I thought it would make an interesting story.

The Locket

A writing prompt I found online finally broke my writer's block! :]

The Charm Bracelet

A package wrapped up beautifully was left upon my door, my name written on a label in a hand I'd seen before. My heartbeat pounding rapidly; I froze right to my core. My eyes, they flooded up with tears and I couldn't feel the floor. Carefully, I broke the tape and slowly looked inside. I opene..

Your Spirit

I miss more and more every day, Mike. <3

Kevin

"I always wondered why you were still on the couch when I woke up that morning," Kevin said absentmindedly. "So you slept a full night on my couch? Wow. The realization of that is astounding to me." I giggled. "I had a good reason to stay on the couch. It was nic..

Max

The longer I was left waiting outside the door, the louder I knocked. "D****t, Kevin, let me in!" Finally, I heard the lock turn and the door opened a crack. "What's the password?" I pushed the door open, dropped my purse on the couch and ran through my Kevin's h..

Kevin

There were tears on my cheeks as I finished recounting the story. Kevin touched my hand, and almost immediately, I felt better. "Sounds like you had a rough time at Shawn's." "I don't know which was harder: breaking up with Jordan or, well, basically breaking up with Shawn." I shoo..

Jordan

"Rebecca, it's me. Look, something happened last night. I need you to call me as soon as you get this. I love you. Bye." I hit the skip button. "Rebecca? It's me again. Um, I called you around 9:00, and now it's about 11:30, so give me a call. I love you." I hit the skip button ag..

Holding My Heart

VerseI met him at a party;He was charming and sincere.We talked and we clicked instantly,No thoughts, no doubts, no fears.Though we were together,I never did forgetMy everlasting love for you,Born from the day we met.My heart is yours, and yours is mine.And I hope you'll always keep in mind Cho..

Kevin

Kevin was quiet for a long time. "I remember you telling me about that, but I didn't realize the whole story behind it." He sighed. "I know you say I'm your best friend, Beckie, but if that's true, why is there so much about your life that I don't know about? I've never met Jordan..

Shawn

My phone was ringing. I hit the silent button and closed my eyes again; I didn't even bother looking at the time. It was still dark out, so it was still too early for me to be on the phone. But when I heard my ring-tone again a few seconds later, I rubbed my eyes and glanced at th..

Kevin

"Missy sounds like a b***h. Hot, but a b***h," Kevin stated. I laughed and smacked his arm. "Shut up," I said. Rubbing my face with my hands, I sighed deeply. "It sucked. I don't think you understand just how badly I wanted to punch her." "I th..

Jordan

"So, I need to talk to you about something," Jordan said softly. I looked up briefly from the magazine I was reading. "What's up? You okay?" I asked. Jordan sat up on the bed and looked over his shoulder at me. "Yeah I'm fine," he responded. "I ..

Kevin

I was lost in the memory with a corny smile in my face. "My god, could that be anymore disgustingly sweet? I'm so glad I've never heard that story before." I reached over and smacked Kevin. "What?" he exclaimed. "Be nice. It was cute. It was one of the reasons I ..

Jordan

"Who is he?" I whispered to my friend, trying to point at a boy across the gymnasium without him noticing. Not an easy task when he hadn't looked away from me in ten minutes. We were sitting in the gym of our school, waiting for the homecoming pep rally to start. My friend Shelly ..

Dear Diary

Based entirely off the song "Dear Diary" by Britney Spears. Corny, and silly maybe. But it's a great way of getting past writer's block, and I've needed that.

Kevin

"So, wait. Let me get this straight. This Shawn kid was like in love with when you were 13, and you never told me about it? How did I never hear about it?" Kevin asked, surprised. I held up my hand in a so-so motion. "Well, I told you about it; I just told you ab..

Never Goodbye

My in-laws took in an exchange student this year. Today, she took a plane back to Germany, leaving us with a heavy burden of adjusting without her. A lot of tears have been shed, and we'll miss her.

Shawn

"Rebecca, I'm so sorry. Come here," Shawn whispered, putting his arms around me. I left myself curled up, but leaned into his embrace. "Shhh, it's gonna be okay, hon." "No, it won't!" I cried, my body racking with tears even harder. My breath was coming in gasps,..

Kevin

I looped my arm through Kevin's as we walked down my road. He didn't speak, waiting for me to voice my thoughts. But I planned on staying silent until we reached our spot. The familiar speed limit sign approached around a curve and the path we wanted was right behind it. Ten minut..

It's Complicated

Rebecca's head is reeling. She can't decide who she wants. Jordan: her boyfriend of two years? Shawn: the more-than-just-a-friend? Or Max: the dreamy new guy she can't stop thinking about?

Never Before and Never Again.

I looked at the clock. There were 15 minutes left of my shift. Groaning deeply, I dropped my head and arms down onto my counter. "Wake up!" I heard suddenly. Fearing it was a customer who would complain to my supervisor, I jumped up quickly. Realizing who was sta..

Chapter One

Carissa looked up when she heard a knock on her door. It was 3:00 on a Sunday afternoon, and neither she, nor her husband, had been expecting anyone. She was in her office toward the back of her house, so she assumed her husband had let the visitor in. Bookmarking her page, Carissa stood from her de..

The Monster Inside Her Heart

Fifteen-year-old Carissa Richards is about to learn that not all lessons are learned within a classroom, and some of them leave you with scars for the rest of your life.

VA FF

"I loved you!" he yelled. He jumped up out of his chair so quickly that I never saw it coming. "I loved you, and you destroyed me." You took my heart and ripped it up. You might as well have staked me!" The change in his features also caught me by surprise. His voice filled the room. So much grief, ..

the reason was you

"the reason was you"based off song.poem/song fic/story.

In Your Eyes

It's often said that someone's eyesAre windows to their soul,Revealing if they act themselvesOr simply play a role.Your eyes are right in front of me,So deep, so strong, so blue.The deeper I look into them,The more I learn of you.In your eyes, I see suffering,I see betrayal, I see pain.The ghosts of..

Dreams

I dream of growing wings and flyingHigh above the clouds.I dream of jumping up one dayAnd not coming back down.I dream of finding love so trueThat love itself grows green.I dream I'll visit far-off places,Seeing things I've never seen.I dream my dreams in black and white,And sometimes shades of blue..

Celestia

Based off of a song that my brother wrote. It inspired me to write this story and a poem slightly similar.

Never

I found a piece of paper wedged in a book I haven't read in like four years. Books = good. :D

My First and Last Blind Date

A fictional short story. Let me know whatcha think. :]
