*

I have no words to describe my pain

because the pain itself describes it pretty well

when you can still hear

the glass shattering in your bloodstream...

funny, I never thought that a broken heart

could make such a noise

Challenge
think of a word, any word, and use it as the title of your work. base your story, poem, prose, etc. completely on the word.

flat

I have been feeling very flat of late

maybe I already told you that,

or maybe I didn’t

because I don’t like to share the things that pain me

you know?

Challenge
Why do you wallow in a sea of regret?
All genres welcome. Bring a little piece of yourself or someone else.

regret and other pains

sometimes there is just pain

not the physical, no

that would have been too easy

that pain that occupies your heart

and weights down on your soul

is the worst kind

I'm so tired of that feeling inside me

as if I may fall apart at any minute

little pieces of me

falling to ground every day

sometimes, I notice

and at others, I don't

they fall off so quietly

lower than a whisper

until one day... to just go out with a bang

or maybe I won't notice that too?

maybe I am so oblivious to the world around me

that I will just stay in the dark of my own ignorance?

what makes my pieces not work the right way?

can someone tell me what the "right way" looks like?

because trust me when I say,

I have never seen it before in my life

I need perspective

or else I am going to lose it

frightened

I wish I could find the exact moment when you stopped being mine

my friend / a part of my heart / my time

near

I need you so bad, that it physically hurts me

somewhere under my guts, that space right across from the heart...

I think people call it the soul or something like that

does it matter?

I just want you near
