Ten

The bridge, the night, the black water, the glisten of the moon and her reflection in a haze of street lights and stars… it all seemed so promising, so tempting. She was cold, so cold, freezing in icy air.

Carousel

Rain? Rain. ‘Go away’? Never come, Or always stay. Up and down, Round and round, Never ceasing? How profound. Abstruse… Acute… It’s killing me. Take me under, Or let me be. Infatuation? Lies all lies… How I miss, Fingers in pies. Hardened and wizened… So young, so pure, Depression? Compression. Wash me to shore… The… Continue reading Carousel

Deluded Metaphor To You

I’m alone in this tiny room, writing again. My mother’s telling me to go to bed, but I’m not listening. Who cares if it’s gone midnight? It’s not my fault she can’t appreciate the night. Night is when all creativity flows. Why waste it with sleep? Dreams are nothing, dreams hurt. I dreamt of you… Continue reading Deluded Metaphor To You

Something Dark Chapter Two

Eva awoke at dawn, although she was hesitant in opening her eyes; she could feel Kai staring down at her. Thinking she was asleep, Kai kissed her softly on the forehead, and brushed back hair from her face.

Heat

The trees were thick with summer haze, and the sunlight lay sleepily in the clear azure sky. The forest was suffocating, the enveloping shade smothering all that entered. Staying out in the sun would surely burn you, but entanglement in the strangling forest was unbearable. The outskirts of the forest were usually overpopulated at this… Continue reading Heat

Shard of Glass

She was always such a promising child. Full of potential, but perhaps a little too passionate for modern day society. None of them had seen it coming, not one of them. They knew she could be a little unstable, but she didn’t have any real issues. Just a few cuts, scratches, burns. Nothing to be… Continue reading Shard of Glass

Always mine

She traced her fingers over her lips, remembering how he felt, how he tasted. But all she tasted now was the sharp salt of her fingers, and the bitter flavour of resent. He was Sarah’s. But that would never have lasted. It was only fair that she should end things herself. She wouldn’t have wanted… Continue reading Always mine

Alone

She sat with her back to the door of her tiny bedroom. The lightning was dim, she loved the way she could manipulate the dark in her room. It came and left as she pleased; she liked to be in control.
