  • Rebrush

    “There’s a whole song for it.  And I can’t believe you have never heard it before.”  “Have I ever heard a love song before?  Of course I have.”  Zachary rebrushed his hair to his original cut and brush.  The fact he was still brushing and rebrushing his hair after thirty minutes meant he was just delaying his leaving time.  I knew…

    “I intend to shake things up,” my roommate said.  “No one is going to be able to stop me when I get everything started.”  Mallory did a little dance as she tried to pump herself up.  She was performing  at her first open mic night and reading some of her poetry.  It was her chance for a…

  • Flowers

    I watched the flowers bloom   right before my eyes.  I was green with envy  but not as beautiful as their stems.  I wanted to love them.  Their beauty enraged me  just as it betrayed my heart.  I wanted you to love me  just as much as you loved them. 

  • Chocolate Pie

    The pie was delicious  It was her love language  She put her heart and soul  Into every pie she made  I could see it  I could feel it  And I knew it wasn’t for me 

  • Garden of Roses

    The roses said my name  Repeatedly  Excitedly  I wanted to help them  I really did  But how could I help  Something I no longer loved?
