In The Dusk

Prompt: The Fairies Move At Twilight

I hear the soft fluttering of wings

And it brings me out of my restless sleep the grandfather clock in the hall tings

It startles me so I let out a peep

I slowly crept towards my window

To see what could be causing the soft sound

I look towards the garden below

I scanned the damp ground

The flutter continues softly at first

My eyes focus in the darkness

The fear causes my heart to burst

My eyes see nothing in this vastness

My breathing becomes calm and steady

My senses are on high alert

The smell of roses makes my brain heavy

I stand there in just my pink shirt

I open my window to the summer breeze

It smells strongly of wildflowers

I looked across the yard towards the trees

Their trunks stand as tall as towers

I see a light dancing in the garden

A small glow on top of the lillies

My lips pull into a grin

They're so small they could dance with the bees

They twinkle like fireflies before me

As they dance among the soft roses

They sing a sweet melody

As they spin in different poses

I can never quite make out there song

But the melody can calm the roughest tide

In my garden is where they belong

Because they feel like they don't have to hide

They tip toe and twirl so magically

Their languid movements are peaceful

I watch them so quietly

I don't want to startle them so I'm careful

The fairies usually move at twilight

While everyone sleeps in their warm beds

They bring us peace and love at night

As we lay down our tired heads

They give us magic love and hope

As they spin to their beautiful song

They help the weak cope

They help the outcasts belong

If I could be like them fairies I would sing every night

I would help the world in so many ways

While dancing in the pale moonlight

That's how I would spend my days

I say goodbye to the fairies in the night

As I pulled the covers to my chin

The fairies will sing and protect me

And that's how this story will begin

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for all the times I never made love to you

Because now I want to more than ever

I'm sorry for all that I put you through

Because now the moments gone forever

I'm sorry for all the bitching you had to hear

I was just under a lot of stress

I'm sorry for every shed tear

But you caused them to fall no less

I'm sorry we can't be a family again

I guess it wasn't something you wanted

I'm sorry for every smile or grin

Or the laughter because the pain I hid

I'm sorry that I'm telling you now because it's too late

I just need to get this out

I'm sorry for all the times I made you wait

While I tried to figure my life out

I'm sorry for all the yelling we've done

It didn't make things better between me and you

I'm sorry my heart is holding this gun

this poem I put a bullet through

I'm sorry that I'm still in love and you are in my soul

True love is hard to erase

I'm sorry you are the person that makes me whole

But from my heart your love I can't replace

I Run

Prompt: A Angry Void You Created

Just an alienated outcast

That's what you've done

You couldn't let the truth stay in the past

Instead, you made me run

I run from the fear

That your mind created

I run from each tear

My soul is cremated

Risking myself against it all

Just to let you in

But, the closer I get the harder I fall

And instead I let you win

So, I run away into the night

To try to save my soul

I run away without a spotlight

Into this angry hole

Because of you I chose to run

As far away as I could

The violent tears stung

All the things that was once good

I blame you for this

You can't escape this fate

Sealed like a poisonous kiss

But sadly, it's too late

I Miss Me

I miss me

The me I use to be

Back when she was happy

I miss me

Where did I go

Honestly I don't know

The pain began to grow

And she had to go

She must be afraid

The price she's paid

The friends she's made

And still she ran away

I miss me

The me I use to be

Back when she was happy

I miss me

I Fly

When Heaven moves and the Earth collapses

Time after time my heart relapses

I fall into this abyss without knowing why

Because, I know without a doubt u would help me fly

You give my soft wings the air to glide

I listen to the gentle currents as I ride

Deeper in love with you I fall

Against each roadblock I risk it all

I would fly with you even on my darkest days

I would make love to my emotions in so many ways

And without a doubt I know you would guide me

If I was blind you would help me see

You are my rock, you are my everything,

And with all of this you bring

The greatest gift known to man

And on my heart is where you place your

hand

I Don't Belong Here

Sometimes the fundamentals of what we're truly expecting doesn't come out right

When you have to fall asleep and your tired of being alone so you turn on the night light

To creep alone in this world brings foreshadowing doom

When you don't feel like you belong in the room

When you want to scream to break the glass that's around you

When you're on autopilot in life and you don't have a clue

When enough feels like enough and you don't know what to do

At times like this I would usually turn to you

But you're not here

You're not here to see every tear

When it seems like it's perfectly clear

And you're nowhere near

I want to scream at the silence when will it end

To walk along every single twist and bend

Feeling like I don't belong

Because you're not here to listen to this song
