Head laying on her chest, the boy said to the girl, “Please don’t break my heart. I’m not sure my heart could take it.” She stroked his hair and quietly replied, “I won’t. I promise.”
But it was her heart that he handed back to her, shattered.
Like Crazy
I thought I understood it.
But I didn’t.
Only the idea of it.
Of you and me.
I thought I understood it.
But I didn’t. Not really.
Only the smudgeness of it.
The eagerness of it.
The idea of it.
Of you and me.

I have never met a more torn individual. And it wasn’t in two directions she was being pulled, I’d say it was about four or so. I told her repeatedly, she can’t go down more than one path, nor can she go down one path in pieces. She has to move forward whole. Does that leave her with one choice though? Does she have to figure out which path is right and put herself together when the decision’s...

It all started with plankton. They decided to eat each other and get bigger.Then they became teeny tiny goldfish, and were all like, “I’m too small for my habitat, so they grew bigger and became sharks. Then the sharks were all, “I hate this water,” so they grew legs and became woolly mammoths.

Maybe it’s irrational, but I feel I’ve exhausted all of my resources. It’s the same old problem that everyone already knows about, and explaining it is a whole other matter. There are good days, and there are bad days. There are days when I feel angry and bitter, and there are days when I feel anew and refreshed. The turmoil of going back and forth between all of those feelings...

A light rain fell one Wednesday evening, covering the antique brick walkway downtown. The moon was no where in sight, causing it to be an especially dark night. Downtown wasn’t dark however; lights in the trees above and in the street lamps lit the path two strangers walked down. The wet weather was unexpected, as it wasn’t in the forecast, but that didn’t matter. Not a soul was...

Sometimes, more often than not, I am thankful for my bad memory. It’s odd though, because the things I do remember, I don’t necessarily need. But then again, if I remembered other things, the things that count, this life would be too much to endure. I suppose it’s why my natural defense is to forget.
