Myself Almost Despising

Newest

Taking ShapeThe bottle of wine had been empty for quite some time. I kept glancing at it every few minutes, as if Bacchus himself was going to descend from the heavens and fill the bottle to the brim. No such thing happened, unfortunately. Instead, I sat on the couch, hands folded neatly in my lap. I heard music playing softly from the kitchen, and deciphered the lyrics that were drifting my way.   
The moonlight  Shines down interstellar beams  And the groove tonight  Is something more than you’ve ever seen   
He stumbled out of the bathroom and over to the couch, sitting right next to me, but for some reason it w Taking Shape

Your SympathyI picked up my guitar and wandered out to the balcony. Everyone else was asleep; however, I had slowly traded the day for the night. The stars were comforting because they had nothing left to do but shine. They would listen when no other would.   
I strummed aimlessly, trying to find a song inside of me that matched how I felt in that moment. What did I feel? Hopeless. Estranged. Careless. Alone.   
It was strange, the way he silently sympathized from across the room - how we could lock gazes and instantly know what the other was thinking. It was frightening sometimes, because usually he was the last person I wanted inside Your Sympathy

The Best MorningIt wasn’t the first time we had slept in the same bed. We had spent countless nights on his twin-sized bed in his old apartment, cramped and clinging to one another so one of us wouldn’t fall to the floor in the middle of the night.   
Our first real purchase as a couple was a queen-sized mattress. We were too poor to afford a frame, so it simply laid on top of a box spring on the floor. I had put brand new red cotton sheets on it, and it had been there waiting for us once night came.   
That morning, I woke up and rolled over to find him soundly sleeping. For a few minutes, all I could do was just stare in amaze The Best Morning

I Could Save YouIt was the third day.   
We’d been locked inside the small room for that long. I couldn’t remember the last time I slept. I couldn’t sleep anymore. Not when the zombie apocalypse was a real thing, instead of something that only happened in my dreams.   
There had been a few scares - dull moans of rotting vocal chords, rough scrapes of flesh against cement, and the incessant banging of dead tissue against steel that happened the night before. Or was it the night before that? There was a physical sense of time, with the old man’s watch still ticking away, but no mental sense of time. Minutes were hours, d I Could Save You

Hello Deviants!

Welcome to my page! I am a writer in the making, experimenting in everyday life and continuing my education so that I may learn my craft. If you like the poetry or prose I have posted in my gallery, please, SPREAD THE WORD! I am trying to get my work out in view of the public, so if you like what you see, tell your friends! Photography is another one of my loves in life, so feel free to take a look at that as well!

They say "Guns don't kill people, people kill people." Well I think the guns help. If you stood
there and yelled BANG, I don't think you'd kill too many people.
