Chelseyann commented on the post, crust 11 months, 3 weeks ago
There’s all that sticky-sweet-sappy underneath. But how do I get it?
You’re as wholesome as apple pie, I guess, as sweet and delicious. But I can’t get past the crust to the sweetness within. Nothing’ll work, will it? -

She could feel the impatience radiating through the all the layers. “In a minute,” she called down, her voice winding down the curves of the staircase. She heard a muffled call, which she took as […]

Chelseyann commented on the post, hearing 1 year, 1 month ago
If she could hear you now, if she could know, would you tell her?
Would you tell her you find someone else? Yes, she said that she wanted you to continue your life and to be happy, but did she mean this? -
Chelseyann wrote about the word deserve 1 year, 6 months ago
Your face tells the stories you’ve lived, the stories you’ve concocted, the stories you’ve written. I read the lines, recalling the times I was beside you in your adventures, and I can’t help but smile. You’ve earned every bit of your face in all your years. This is the face you deserve, the face you’ve [...]

Chelseyann wrote about the word centerpiece 1 year, 6 months ago
There are things you say, things you do, things you think and buy and read and sing and write and appreciate, that a year ago you’d never, no. There are things you are thankful for that, the year before, you couldn’t imagine wanting nor needing. The centerpiece of the dinner table, an orchid, was something [...]

Chelseyann wrote about the word obey 1 year, 6 months ago
One hand at my waist and another at my neck, you spin me ’round. So, so fast, I’m seeing circles. It seems I’ve no choice but to follow the subtle demands of your hands. My feet, my legs, my torso, my arms, my hands, my head, my heart obey.

Chelseyann wrote about the word stable 1 year, 6 months ago
You’ve got this fire- more of an ember, really, at this point- that burns inside you. Instead of warm yourself by it- you haven’t figured that out quite yet, I think- you burn everything good and stable in your life up, a forest being ravaged without a second thought until all that’s left is smoke [...]

Marble (11/27)
He touches his fingers to the cold, trying to soak in the world that created these gigantic, magnificent, marble glories. He tries to see the lives that revolved around this ancient object, tries to imagine himself there, watching the sculptor find the masterpiece inside the stone. -

Dim (11/28)
As you dim the lights, she reaches out her arms. She curls her fingers, trying to bring you closer with just the power of thought. You watch her take in every little movement as she watches you approach. You wiggle in, underneath the covers. She laughs as skin touches skin and you put your arms around her. In the dark, you can still see the brightness of her eyes, still see the way she looks at you. -

Skyline (11/29)
This generation’s children and the next, our children, how could they know that this is not right? This is not what the World’s Greatest City’s skyline is supposed to look like. You can feed them the horrifying statistics of the injured and dead. You can tell them how they almost lost ancestors on that day, too, only saved by the graceful hand of fate. You can tell them how, even though you were on the other side of our broad country, you felt the pain clench your heart and not let go, not after all this time. You can tell them how our heroes, the men and women who got survivors and corpses alike out of the collapsing buildings, you can tell them how those same men and women were dying of cancer a decade later. But will they feel the injustice in their bones, as we do? -

Anywhere (11/30)
They say anywhere, but you know they don’t mean it. You know they say they’ll take you anywhere and mean they’ll take you anywhere within county limits. They say you can end up anywhere and now, you’ve finally figured out that they mean within state limits. You can be anything, anywhere, anyhow, except no, not really. -

If you slouch like that, your back will stay that way. If you make that silly face, it’ll get stuck that way. Be careful of the words you think because they will become the words you speak and the actions you perform. But my question, then, is, if I love you like this why won’t [...]

Chelseyann wrote about the word museum 1 year, 6 months ago
The museum was filled with relics, preserved from far off ruins. Without even a touch of her fingertips upon these ancient artifacts, she could feel the lives of those previously alive and now dead wafting about her. She could feel the way they must have lived. And what had caused their deaths, was it ordinary [...]

Chelseyann wrote about the word president 1 year, 6 months ago
The president stood before the microphone. He looked into the eye of the camera, knowing he was addressing the nation he led. With words he hadn’t prepared, actions he didn’t perform, he changed the course of the nation. Some cheered, some solemnly celebrated, and some mourned. One way or the other, that night would never [...]

The stampede of horses neared and she couldn’t catch her breath. She could feel their hooves pounding the soft earth below but she couldn’t move. She could see their manes whipping back with the motion of their speed but she couldn’t go a thing. She couldn’t move, couldn’t scream nor speak, couldn’t breathe. They were [...]

He’s got his head bent over an unknown book, a beanie pulled low, his legs crossed. He’s pressed into the corner of the seat, pressed against the icy glass of the window. The city flies past behind him but she’s caught, an insect in a well-constructed web, staring at him. This isn’t the first time [...]

From across the room, behind her and just to the left, he can see that’s she not really studying, no. She’s got her small little notebook open inside her textbook. She’s sketching things, showing him the worlds inside her head, as he studies her not studying. He’d give anything to be able to stand up, [...]

Chelseyann wrote about the word laughter 1 year, 7 months ago
You’ve got that short little creamsicle dress on; your hair pulled back and braided; your make-up on, which you’ve made up your mind is mod thus cool. If you look closely, watch carefully, don’t blink, you can watch your smile spread across your face, lifting your cheeks and brightening your eyes. Your laughter bounces off [...]

The rules were, you weren’t supposed to get too close and I wasn’t supposed to end up like this, heartbroken. The bench where we used to meet after our days, it’s littered with rotting apples and decaying leaves. I walk by at least once a week. I’d check it everyday, but sometimes, the fear that [...]

You’ve got a flare, babe, a flare for the dramatic. You swing your arms around me, like I’ve been gone, across the world. I leave for a second, and you near tears. But I have one favorite little thing you do: the way your face lights up as I tell you the truth, that I [...]
