welcoming
It was Sunday morning, and it was time for me to return home. I wasn’t sure if they’d be so humble about my reappearance after so many years of no contact. Who knows? Maybe their arms would be wide open and waiting. But I doubt that. He was the only one I knew that would be truly excited about my homecoming. But what about everyone else? What about my family? They mattered too, right?

general
i thought about myself to day, the general ins and outs, my breath, the subconscious smiles i give to strangers as i pass them on my bicycle. These are the things I am greatful for. Coming home, staying in my apartment, my horrible roommates, these are things I am not greatful for.

suspend
I have been suspended in mid-air. I’ve been hung upside down and waited to be rescued from the blood rushing to my brain. When I was no longer suspended, when I was right side to the world, I felt elated.

path
Walking along in silence I didn’t look behind my or even to the sides. I continued forward on the lonely path because it was easier than venturing off into the dark woods or going back to the village where I didn’t belong. The only thing that scared me was that I couldn’t see where I would end up.

flight
The darkness pressed down upon me, stealing all my sight. I couldn’t think of anything at that moment except the fire in your eyes. This final flight will never be enough.

hill
I tried to climb up after you but I would only slide back down again. I wanted to follow you anywhere but a hill to you seemed a mountain through my little eyes. As I struggled behind you never offered me a hand and before I knew it you were just a shrinking dot on the horizon and I realized I would never catch up.

wanting
It was going to consume her, this terrible wanting was slowly burning up her very soul. She saw him there everyday, always waiting for something inside her to snap and allow her to speak to him at last. But this snap never came.

feathered
It may have been because I didn’t know you very well, or maybe I am a petty person. Either way I wish I would have been nicer to you. But seriously, that feathered hair of yours was too much not to laugh at. But if I knew you were so sad, I like to think I would have laughed a little quieter.

proud
The lion stalked behind me and I pretended I couldn’t sense his presense. I envied him and his existence, so proud and strong, never worried about anything but the hunt.

wildflower
It grew beside the highway. I saw it there everynight while I drove home from work, achy and worn out from the day. The light blue petals seemed to shine through the impending dark. I always had the urge to reach out and pluck it, but I never got the nerve to pull the car over.

delay
There was a moment of silence before he answered my question and I knew all I needed to know. That terrible pause, that simple delay ripped my heart in two. I knew before he got the words out that it was over.

century
centuries ago. people thought the same thoughts. they are probably written down in books, waiting to be rethought. Here they are, now.

entertained
I entertained myself with unrealistic thoughts like always. I’m okay with being your best friend. I just wish I hadn’t spent all this time wishing for something more. I knew it would never work out, I am just unfortunately optimistic.

frog
they are green with a chance of having poisons in them to where you can get high. the type of frogs that are colored are not the ones to get high off of, for they will just kill you. the colored ones are the most poisonous frogs in the world

hooked
I was hooked. I mean… not literally like hooked onto a lure or anything, but I could not stop watching. It simply sucked me in like a watermelon to a goldfish. If that were to ever even happen, I think I’d be hooked then too.

pour
the rain is pouring like sugar is pouring into my coffee. I need to stay awake. Hours of homework, never enough caffine. Red Bull and sodas. Drink and drink and i can never stay awake. Sleep is what i need. Put the caffine away. See the rain pouring outside.

gem
Gems. Fuck gems, I have the goddamn flu. I can’t be out looking for gems in this weather when I’m trying not to cough up my lungs every 30 seconds. They try to send me out, I’ll shoot every last one of them, I swear I’ll do it. I’ve got to get out of this trade; it’s like dying a little more each and every day. And then I catch the goddamn flu. Maybe this time I will die. Serve them right. Bastards.

piano
The piano played on and on, and I never even heard it over the din of my own thoughts. I missed him -I missed them all, but I knew they were gone. I shook my head, lifting my drink to my lips, and let the last delicate ivory strains wash over my ears.
