The Shadow Man

The nightlight mocks the child’s valor. But without it, the shadows that linger on the walls morph into monsters.

My Flaw

My eyes linger slightly to the right, to her,

Her bracelets dangle delicately on her wrist

creating a divide between gold and her olive skin

An accent of Aphrodite that I am without

A reminder of my need to restrict

so that one day, one day, I will be worthy of her angelic gifts

Drowning

I hear you on the shore begging me to paddle back to you,

begging me not to bathe in the depths

I hear your warnings and I shove past them,

for I am in control

In control until your wails turn into a torrent of waves

Dying until I see your boat circle above my grave

Saved when I see you once more

Maybe next time, I will listen

Challenge

Ghosting Myself

My biggest fear is that I will become your biggest regret. That one day you will open your obsidian eyes and see me for what I truly am, a walking flaw upheld by a weak heart. That your love will fade because I can never be her, my future replacement.

For the Sleepless nights

You know that they're lying to you whenever they say it will be forever and always? They always do. They scribble sweet notes to you and promise to dance with you through the storm but as soon as times get tough they run and hide leaving you to face the thunder by yourself. The chaotic silence of it all will weigh heavy on your heart and leave you pleading with God to flashback to that forever and always moment.

Challenge
What is the devil afraid of?
Any format goes. Any genre you want.

The Devil in Disguise

The devil, a sly and mysterious figure

robed in black and throned in flames

awaits a rebellion of lost souls

who have realized that the devil is in all of us

and no longer has any power over mortals -

That is the one thing he truly fears.

Challenge

Love Floats

"Love?" The weighted word lingered in her head until her heart was filled with hate.
