Again by DanielleDestiny, literature

Again

Feet fall soft on concrete ground Worn out shoes make no sound Feel so trapped, but I’m not bound I’m walking on my own again. Midnight air cold on the chest Muscles ache and beg for rest For this life, I have no zest I’m hiding from myself again. People stare as I walk by They laugh and joke, but I just sigh Want to just break down and cry I’m falling down that hole again. Someone tell me why I’m here? Please explain all that I fear? Oh god who can make it clear? Don’t want to walk alone again. So many times I’ve walked this road For my sins my youth was sold This pavement has a stranglehold I’m knocking myself down again. The rain it comes and soaks my skin Drowns the spirit that dwells within I always lose, I just can’t win I’m staring at the void again. But with the dawn she’ll come to me Reveal the truths I failed to see The darkness becomes a memory I’m heading back home again. She tells me that she is here. Explains there’s nothing left to fear Now it is all so

Heartless

I worked so hard Pulled all the right cards Talked to you non stop And you were in my every thought I believed you liked me, like I like you I guess I am wrong So someone sing me a sad song One with a melody That goes with her felony Because she stole my heart And ripped it apart Now I feel nothing With very little to say No more words to rhyme Because of her unthinkable crime

Good As Gold

A long life Full of frights Was bestowed unto her When a trouble Came out of the rubble She would stand to fight Once it was over and done She would go and sit under the sun A warm summers breeze And some pistachio nut ice cream She may have been poor But she loved her family all the more She loved me and I here Even when she spoke her word I cannot see Life without you and me But I know She loved us all until she passed But as was told to me NOTHING GOLD CAN LAST

And I'd give up forever to touch you, Cause I know that you'd fell me somehow You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be And I don't want to go home right now And all I can taste is this moment And all I can breathe is your life Cause sooner or later It's over I just don't want to miss you tonight And I don't want the world to see me, Cause I don't think that they'd understand When everything's made to be broken, I just want you to know who I am And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming, Or the moment of truth in your lies When everything feels like the movies Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive And I don't want

Don't Read This

Please don't read this Don't read the words I wrote Not one single letter Not one single note Take this letter and burn it Never open it to see The words I wrote to you Of what you mean to me Don't read my feelings for you Don't read how my heart breaks Every time I hear you laugh Or see your smiling face Don't read how my heart stops When you look me in the eye Don't see the tear stains on the paper And notice how much I cry Take this letter and tare it to pieces Never let my words be known Leave me in my despair alone To rep the seeds of which I've sewn Please don't read this letter Forget it ex

Cruel Wedding

Do you take this man To be your lawful wedded husband? No, I never wanted this Never wanted a man who didn't love me Never wanted my life planed by others Never wanted him to want me To have and to hold From this day forward Ripped away from my family Moved out of my home Never to see my home land again The only place I've ever known For better For worse I got the worse in this deal I was sold like a cow To a pompous insensitive man Whom I am bound to now For richer For poorer I'd rather be a poor mans wife If we were truly in love That is the only gold I need A love blessed by God above In sickness And in health Th

A Quick Independence Day Piece

"You're okay with this spot?" Rodger asked, spreading an invisible blanket with his hands. After examining the spot for a few seconds, Ella nodded. "Yeah, that looks good. Not too close, but not too far away, either," she said. Rodger took the blanket out of his bag, and he and his wife carefully lay it on the grass, careful not to get it too wet; the effects of yesterday's summer shower was still on the field. After that was done, they decided to get something to eat. There was hot dogs and hamburgers available, and both took the former. They chatted on a nearby bench, laughing and talking as they chewed; Ella accidentally squirted mu
