  • The Mayor

    If the gossip was as juicy as I thought it was, I knew I would have an excellent story.  I inched closer to the edge of the picnic table trying to overhear the moms at the nearest park bench.  This was one of the more popular parks in the upper class side of town so there was some sort of…

  • The Missing

    “The boys weren’t there.  Where could they be if they aren’t at the park?  Oh my God, Hudson, what if somebody took them?”  I tried to bend over to try to catch my breath, but bending seemed to only make my heart beat faster.  Hudson put his hand on my arm and I shook him off.  If our son and his friend were…

  • The Song

    “I never liked that song,” I said as Ian led me toward the door.  His steady hand on my arm reminded me that I was safe and in good hands.  I had suffered through several relationships over the years only to come through to meet Ian.  There was Brian who I thought I was ready…

  • The Boyfriend

    “Why did you go to his house?  You swore to me you would never go back.”  I paced in the front hallway as McKenzie slowly took her gloves and jacket off.  I knew she had been at Kevin’s house whether she would admit it or not.  The scent of his bitter cologne wafted toward me…

  • My Heart

    If you rip my heart out  I won’t even notice.  If you rip my heart out  it won’t even hurt If you rip my heart out  I probably won’t bleed.  If you rip my heart out  I won’t keep chasing.  If you rip my hear out  I will only go back to sleep.  If you rip my heart…

  • 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…

  • Shake It Up

    “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…

  • Comfortable

    I wanted to be comfortable   In my own skin  I wanted to love myself  As much as you love me.  I wanted to look like her  But she was impossible to replicate. 

  • Real

    Life was almost real  You disappeared from my soul  Never to return  When you left me, I  thought about jumping off the  ship.  But I stayed for  Hoping you would find  me once again.  But I should  have known better.  You   were mine only for   a minute.  I wanted to  love you forever.  Forever a farce.  I wanted to believe…

  • Deep in the Woods

    I always knew that my life could get better, I just didn’t know how.  I knew I had finally come home.  That I was here.  And I wouldn’t ever leave.  I could finally take a deep breath and fill it with fresh air and no fumes.  I could look up at the sky and see…
