For What It's Worth by thelightthatfades, literature

Literature

For What It's Worth

She stands in solitude amongst the silent serenade of emptiness that brings breath to her skin and the fear that's pulsating through her core and she's thinking of apple trees and soft, white petals getting tangled in her hair the scent of summer grass and country air but it's all lost in her ongoing bitterness The thoughts of him prevent her mind from mending her hear how is it possible to miss something that never existed? She wishes she could forget him but the sound of his voice and the thunder in his eyes still haunt her apple petals dance from limb to stomach and she finds herself grasping at twigs of hope but sh

The Becoming by thelightthatfades, literature

Literature

The Becoming

I look out the paned glass And the evening light is grey The faded color of old pictures Like the ones of us From four years ago We've grown in comparison For better and worse And I can't help it The need to have that time back Or is it the innocence I'm chasing Only time and God can make us Children again The cold hand of glass touches My cheek, soothing the skin A gentle reminder of my own existence And just how far gone I truly am One bad decision after another Too many times I've made the wrong choices, and now I've gone back to square one again The Spring blooms a constant reminder For each one of my mistakes 3 mo

Elders by thelightthatfades, literature

Literature

Elders

I watch the old couple As they walk hand in hand Step to the sound of the love They have built upon I can't help but smile Stare at those hands Her smooth, pale palm Clasped in his rough, cracked one Worn from age and the care He has given her And I am blessed To be a witness Because it's sweet Because it's hope Because it's a testimony That love is more Than a figment of my imagination And as I watch them I see myself with you And what the future holds And I can feel your whisper In my ear And your rough voice Choppy accent Never sounded so sweet As when it says three words And I believe them For the first time-

"The light that fades?" "Uhm, yeah..." I close my lips on the words threatening to come out they struggle to explain that it's derived from a song lyrics about how even the most perfect beings die..dust..gone fail how somehow a few words set to music can describe how broken I am The words are pushing themselves against my barred teeth they want to tell you everything confessions of the past my stalker ex, my mom's verbal abuse almost being raped being taken for granted, underestimated third in the class not good enough for Ivy league too good for community college too poor for art school privat

Literature

Perfectly Damaged

"At least the flashbacks have stopped" I stop, mouth agape, confused the sky is lit with colored sparks each one emitting gunfire and suddenly I understand you're referring to the hell in Iraq I'm not sure what's worse imagining you ducking for cover in an over grown sandtrap or seeing the fear and refind honesty in your eyes as they closely watch the sky I have to look away to keep the tears from falling part of me wants to speak but I know my voice is too fragile all i can do is stare at the sky and as I rub your back hoping to console you I think of how much I want you to know that I wo

Frost by thelightthatfades, literature

Literature

Frost

I can feel the grit of dirt between my toes And the rain is nothing more than a mist Even though it’s pouring I’m soaked through my skin But I feel only a slight caress As if I’m brushing against morning dew I continue to pick the buttercups They seem oddly full of sun Considering the weather we’re having I’ll pick some rainbow Petals of blue, white, maybe purple You laugh at my pitiful Almost beautiful bouquet It reminds you of me And everything you love I realize how small and broken I must look But you treat me like I’m irreplaceable I’m some priceless gem In your eyes But you don’

BoE Life part 3

3 Sure, Jezzymyn wasn’t sure of whom she was or what her power was, but the avoidance of inevitable death seemed to be a part of it. She loved how serene the city looked from the cathedral’s roof and the way that stepping off the edge was like flying again. The wind seemed to carry her safely to the ground; body as light as leaves. Of course the bookshop with the quaint little decal in the window was closed at this time of night. However, the owner was still inside stocking shelves and answered the door when he saw Jezzymyn. She had wanted to thank him, but all she could manage was a faint smile and a nod of the head.

Perfect- Words of Ink

Perfect (Words of Ink) The secrets of my pain are burning deep inside Where no one can see 'cept the tears I cry I've become somethin' I didn't wanta be Staring in the mirror all I see is me I may be angry, tear my heart inside The promise in me I've come to hide I'm just the outcast, just so perfect At least that's what they think But they don't know that I bleed Through these words of ink Stuck in the crowd feelin' so left out Even my shadow has left me And there's no doubt Just a blemish on this masterpiece And I want out I may be angry, tear my heart inside The promise in me I've come to hide I'm just the outcast, just

Dark Eyes by thelightthatfades, literature

Literature

Dark Eyes

Dark Eyes I watched him walk down the hall With the people he called his friends. My eyes focused on his tan, slender body. The same back I watched those friends laugh behind. I watched him go to dances. The girl clinging to his arm was always different. Yet, her self-centered personality was always the same. The same girls I wished I could have the chance to be. I never talked to him. I lacked the courage and sensibility. Instead I gazed into his eyes. Sometimes they were brown, Others green, But they were always dark. Those eyes were as black as ink. The same pool from which I found the words to love's song. The eyes in whi

Literature

Now That He's Gone

Now That He's Gone My first love Came when I met his eyes Feelings so strange I've never felt before By summer that love faded The love I'd given I'd never received Yet, why do I feel sorrow A yearning I once had Now that he's gone I told myself it was impossible To miss a love you never had But why do I wish so badly To have him back Now that he's gone I told myself I couldn't handle Another minute of his multiple personality But Now that he's gone I've had a chance to see the real him And I'm left with mixed emotions Now that he's gone

Me and Amity

Me and Amity Me and Amity Drove down by the lakeside I called her up about half-past midnight I said, "I need your help girl." Then I started to cry I said, "I can't deal with this Wish I could die." She picked me up at two a.m. She said, "Girl, what's wrong? Oh, is it him?" I said, "Yeah, yeah. I can't deal with it. I can't take his shit. I just want to forget." 'Cause when you love someone Don't treat them so Can only take so much Oh, don't you know And can only tolerate for so long I'm tired of pleadin' "Please, no more!" It's my hopes, my dreams I'm bleedin'. She parks the car And I open the door Soft, green grass

Amiens

Amiens I sit here looking Looking, looking At pictures of you I'm stuck here wishing Wishing, wishing Of a life with you But you gave here Notre Dame And your love forever While I'm dreaming of Amiens And our life together I thought I saw your promise in your eyes And we slept holding on tight I never thought you would have to decide Between my love and her blight A sunrise warms the subtle clouds A silent serenade for this emptiness I'm filled with feelings never spoken aloud I'm left here suffocating in loneliness I sit here looking Looking, looking At pictures of you I'm left here dreaming Dreaming, dreaming Of sayi

She shoves him against the door, tears are rolling down her face. Pain in her eyes that he cannot describe lips that once smiled now form a snarl. Nails painted red dig into his skin, fingers twisting to grab a hold of something. He wants to reach and put his arms around her, he wants to reassure her that everything is okay. He should be apologizing but she knows the lies. Right now all her eyes are asking is "why?" She shoves him in an attempt to be strong, but her soul has weakened—no longer does she belong. She pulls away, closes the door, and leaves him there as he falls to the floor. Please come back, but he knows she

ice hung from her face, dangling off her lashes, closing her eyes for eternity. her fingers a bitter ghost that numbs as they glide over the cracks silencing the unspoken screams poised on now frozen lips, panic should be swelling instead of ebbing, skating away, smooth. never would have guessed how comforting the cold would be, a fragile balance so easily broken but serene. a walk on thin ice, chancing life and meeting death.

Broken Fairy Tales by someonekrazy69, literature

Literature

Broken Fairy Tales

An old beaten up story book left opened on the floor. A knight in shining armor, who is now covered in a rusty dust and Little red riding hood's blood red cape hanging from a distorted branch. A Hansel and Gretel who didn't make it out of the delicious ginger bread home. And Cinderella's glass slippers shattered like diamonds on the floor. A Repunzel whose chemo makes her lose her golden locks and Seven little Dwarfs who didn't care if their Snow White died. An old beaten up story book left opened on the floor reveals a world of broken fairy tales.

Falling Between The Line

My mouth opened to speak—words clung to the tip of my tongue, praying to be released and capture the moment, but your mouth denied such pleasure, enticed my body with different sensations, strangled my tongue so what I said was impossible to decipher. Just a purr vibrating the back of my throat, a moan captured in the chest, light-headed, throbbing of the temples, to the point of calling it a migraine. I'm sick. My mother even told me so. As I counted down the days of the months, the hours of the days, the minutes of the hours, until the numbers became to

Count the Ways

I wrote your name 1,003 times on multiple pieces of paper, In books, on my desk, with broken hearts, In print. In cursive. Smeared by tears, On chalkboards, On posters, Things I could burn, Things I could break, Anything that said you existed but no more-- In hopes my hands would be utterly exhausted, Would loathe the very thought of your name, And I would no longer find it slipping into my poetry, My stories, my dreams, my thoughts—MY HEAD. I wrote my name by itself without yours 2,056 times And only managed to write a little bit

Another promise to break

0 min read

okay, I know I said I was back about a year ago or more....I can't count that high, but this time I'm ready to make a commitment. I've been sooo uber busy with school and finding a new job and what not since my last journal that I've been unable to get back here as I had originally intended to do. So...I am aware that the theft thing still occurs, so I probably won't be posting my most awesomest stuff here, but I will be posting. I have a few updates I will be making to my gallery later this evening. I must first type and edit them. So those of you that still read my stuff or follow please critique ect. I can't guarantee how often I will be o

back but not in black

Just thought I'd post a big, I'm back for anyone that may have noticed that I haven't been on in like a year. I was actually in the process of deleting my account about a year ago, due to the theft thing that was going around. However, I was hoping that that whole phase has blown over. I sort of miss this place and my darling roomie sorta convinced me to become active again. So here I am. I'm not making any promises that I will be posting daily, weekly, or monthly. Believe it or not college is keeping me pretty busy and things have changed DRASTICALLY in a year. I'm not the same person I used to be and I think that may appear evident the more

Cleaning Up The Rumors

ok, i know i say this everytime, but i really am sorry that i haven't updated the novels lately. in all honesty i've been trying but i'm at a lack of inspiration at the moment. i blame it on personal baggage. but i really truly am sorry sorry, i have been checkin out deviations though. you guys are great! but then again you already knew that lol. i've been tryin to get to comments, but half the time i don't know what to say. it's not that i don't appreciate them- I DO- but like i said i'm just a bit strung at the moment. Why is that you might ask? well, i work about seven days a week. 3-11pm every night sometimes later. i'm going through a l
