“I’m Doing Fine”

Prompt: write a song about your love life (just in time for Valentine's day lol) We held onto each other, like all first loves do We thought we'd last forever, till I went and dumped you Some would say I messed it up, that I lost everything 'Cause four years later I'm still alone, but … Continue reading “I’m Doing Fine”

Fear, Pt. 1

What are you afraid of? Monsters, spiders, heights? Not being able to wake up in the morning? I've often wondered what it'd be like to get in a car accident, or fall of the golden gate bridge.

Silent Breaths & Silent Steps

Silent breaths were all she had left. Silent steps to silent rooms with dirty men and toxic fumes She knew this all would be her end but sleeping's best when in the tomb. Silent breaths. In. Out.
