soap
It wasn’t very interesting. Just soap. Plain yellow soap, with a little bird printed into the center. It was strange, then, that I was so annoyed about its loss; there were so many others just like it.

eternal
She told him she had to go away for a while He wondered, “Where are you going to go laying in that bed?” He lifted up his hands, they said 80 He looked into his heart and heard, “It’s okay.” She looked back at him with the same eyes he fell in love with 60 years ago They whispered, “I’m sorry.”
He cradled her hands in his and kissed her forehead. “Before you go, you remember what my love for you is like right?” She smiled, “Yeah. Eternal.”

returned
He left. I waited. I waited. I waited. I waited, you could say, for a very long time. I waited, you could say, for an instant. And then the door banged open and there he was. “You left me.” “I came back.” “Why?” “It’s cold and lonely out in space, my friend.”

growing
seeds are the start. The seed is planted and they grow. Seeds of ideas, seeds of plants, seeds of a personality… nature or nurture. Growing occurs without attention of with attention. Sometimes we prune what grows; ideas, plants, personalities. Sometimes we allow the thing to grow of it’s own accord, give it the room and allow it to fill the space as it sees fit. Ideas, personalities, plants. Growing can happen in a large space and a small space. Growing occurs as an exploration of the space that is allowed to be filled. How much space is required to grow and idea, a plant, a personality? How much nurture? When does nurture become pruning? Jack grew a beanstalk and it grew to it’s own agenda. The beanstalk was given space to grow and in turn the beanstalk provided an opportunity for Jack to grow.

husband
She looked at me and said I do. I’ve never heard two syllables sound more beautiful. I saw the wrinkle in her nose as she smiled. I felt her love wrapped around my heart. I saw her and saw our children, white picket fences, and 50 years of fighting and making up. I took her hand in mine, thought about kissing it, and said I do.

I didn’t say I kind of because I know it takes two I didn’t say well maybe because I know I said I do.

speak
I can’t remember the last time we had a decent conversation, and it’s been awkward between us ever since that time, but please. Please. Don’t just stand there. You don’t know how much it hurts to see you staring at me, you have no idea how much I hate the idea of you hating me.

promise
I promise that I will never leave you. It is a concept you might not be able to grasp, but it is one that I will wholeheartedly uphold. I’ve done it before but I have learned from my mistakes and although history repeats itself, I will never repeat my own history. I promise.

reference
I don’t understand and probably never will- MLA citations, I’m sure, are simple to others, but to me they’re just a huge bitca.

officers
It was strange, but they scared me- tall men in blue jackets, with stern faces and loud voices. I was terrified, at first, yes, but slowly I got to know them and really, they were in personality just as terrifying as in looks.

procedure
It was procedure, I know, but it was still annoying as hell. Taking off my shoes, my jacket, my sweater; digging my laptop out of my bag; practically disrobing for the sake of protocol. And then I see- planes crashing into buildings, people screaming, firemen frantically getting people out, people sobbing their last goodbyes over airplane telephones- and I shut up and put my laptop into a bin.

broadcast
You hear the words you wrote so carelessly last night broadcast across the kitchen and you flush red. Who gave her permission to read your diary? Those were your private thoughts, not anything you’d ever say to anyone. You turn away.

July
In July, especially in the evenings, it’s very easy to lose your sense of self and have your soul drift off into the fog, never to be seen again. Some suspect that these souls are what eventually turn into fireworks.

roof
Once upon a time there were three little pigs. hey wanted to own a house but they had no money. So, they went to the black bear in the village, the local financial broker, who helped them negotiate a low finance loan. It was super convenient for them and they moved into the home. 3 days later, they burned it down! NOw standing among the ashes of their newly purchased home, the pigs began to tell the story of how they got there. You see, the story does not begin with a horrendous fire engulfing the piggy’s home. No, friends, this is the end.

past
the past. You shouldn’t always look to the past, you have to let go. Learn what you need to know, take that knowledge and go. go to the future, the unknown. they are all the same.

solution
Where can I find a solution to my problems, the ones who repress my life and make me feel bad about my self. Am I doing it right? Am I finding the right solution? Well, everything happens for a reason, I know the solution will find a path, and lead me out of my problems.

walls
Walls are things that trap you in. The foreboding walls closed in around her and she felt she was going to sufficate. A wall to climb over. A challenge to solve. A wall to my heart. A wall in between us.

asthma
Asthma is hard to live with. In moments of endurance and in moments of happiness, it attacks you. It gets harder to breathe and causes anxiety. It can cloud your thinking and cause a change in mood. It’s a monster ths lives in your lungs. It takes your breath away; not in a good way.

side
everything kept on my side is all my own.. They are not on my side, all are against me! Side by side games are funny and I love the person who lives by my side in the neighborhood. All sides of an apple are good. Side swept hair look good.

There’s nothing more lonely than the sound of the train at night. Freight trains only, never passenger trains after the sun has long since set. Trains coming from great distances and foreign places, a little bit of there passing through here. I feel I am the only one awake in the world to hear this train, sole witness to its homeless song.

brief
cap
There was a cap to my anger. I didn’t think it would be reached, but it was. There was never anyone who could ever infuriate me as much as him. I wish I had never laid eyes on him and his stupid yellow rain slicker and stupid NO hat. If only I could rewind time and start over again.

necessity
there are big differences between wants and necessities, however the lines do blur in certain areas betwixt emotional completion and the bare bones of subsistence. The desire to succeed, for instance, is a want, but I could say that its absolutely necessary for happiness. Perhaps not to keep breathing, eating, reproducing. But a need, without doubt, for a fulfilling life, is to reach your goals.

generator
The power had gone out and all we could do was try and find some candles. We set them up, and a game of Risk, right in the middle of the floor. We were going to call some food to be delivered, however, we realized the phone was out too. So we sat, and waited, and played.
