Timing
Is it enough to see what you’ve been waiting for to hold it just for a second and then let it go, forever? Or should we hold hope eternal that it could be permanently ours and pass by the chances for fleeting moments?

Empty house
These empty walls where the wind blows down cold halls seem so much bigger now that you’re gone and I feel so much more alone.
It was an unforgiving day that started out so serene you’d been travelling for such a long time your body had grown so weak.
You’d faced so much more than you should have had to bear and with your battle scars and bruises you were surely almost there.

If I rode a purple llama
Maybe people would take more notice of the things I try to tell them if I rode a purple llama who wore a bow tie and a top hat.
Maybe the things I write would be more pleasing to the reader if I took words from books at random and amalgamated them in stanza form.
Maybe I’d have seen the snow just once in my life if the threat of global warming wasn’t melting all our ice.
Maybe I...

Expose what lies hidden
Would you fall apart if you let them in if you let them see you, stripped bare?
You tell yourself all you have left is to keep your impurity to yourself.
Do you deny even to yourself the cracks beneath the surface?
Or do you look when alone and disgust yourself with the appearance?
You’re falling apart all by yourself holding your pieces together with string.
If you peel back the layers...

Is hope worth pain?
I won’t raise my hope
I won’t let you let me down
you won’t break my heart.

Mindmaps
Raindrops teardrops watermarks on my t-shirt. Exhausted but dreams tell me my life’s not spent. Walking weary bare feet on the pavement. A path unknown following maps in my mind. Vivid striking images dance behind my eyes these images are my reality.

Judgment
I can’t help but feel your eyes hollow into me as you realise who I am and what I’ve done is nothing like what you thought. I’ve lived a lie a double life under a mask you assured me I could trust that you’d accept me as I am. I opened up my bandages I revealed my wounds and you couldn’t contain disgust. I said I wasn’t perfect that you’d not want to see...

Elizabeth.
Her mind is a winding village of quizzical complexities she gets lost in streets and laneways that lead her down confusing paths.
Her young mind is moulded by the examples lived around her which have dragged her in opposing directions.
She walks the wrong paths her choices a danger to herself but she’s living a life already mapped out once.
The example she follows is one close to her...
To love a writer
flawsstitchedwithgoodintentions:
to love a writer is to become immortal. even beyond relations the writer won’t forget the life that existed between the souls. you will become a muse, a catalyst, a plot, or a theme. you will have every essence personified beyond reasonable extent. you wil be documented in metaphors and similes, in alliteratives and assonance. and imagery is happenstance. to love...
merelyamadness:
I thought I heard you cough from across the hall but it was just the house creaking settling growing comfortable in the dust that you left behind.
We all had to fit ourselves back together grow accustomed to the weight of your absence.

New life
You hold on with all your strength to the only protection you’ve ever known but even a seed must let go of the tree and fall to the ground before it can find it’s full potential, it’s new life.

Junction Hotel
Between the corners of this road and that the Junction Hotel quietly sits solemn and proud a grand old building with memories willing its halls.
Memories are made between these walls good as well as bad.
People also come to forget to forget their problems to forget their lives to forget themselves.
A person can be whoever they choose the truest version of themselves or another character...

Waxwork
Someday you might realise the emptiness that lies here beneath the pretty patterns that distract the mind; someday you might realise the emptiness runs deep like a paper bag filled with air; like a waxwork figure nobody underneath the surface.

I carved out my own heart
Nothing hurts as much as the sting that comes when you give someone your love and theirs goes to another.
If you’d just let go give me back the bruised lump I call my heart and let me move on in life.
When did you cast these chains that I can’t break? When did I fall into your trap?
Yet I fell willingly I was captivated all to eagerly I carved out my own heart to lay before you.

Excellent Lizzie, aren’t you supposed to be studying? :)
I’m on holidays at the moment, so no studying to do! I start a new job on Thursday though. University doesn’t go back till the end of February, so I have a while to be on holidays still without any real studying to do :)

Isolation
After hours alone the mind does wander often to unexpected places and every now and then the body is tempted to follow. When one is alone all those things usually ridiculous somehow seem simply natural and fascinate capturing the imagination. Decisions made in isolation should not be held too strictly for the risk of doing something you will regret.

Holding on
Letting go is the hardest thing in the world when holding on seems the safest option even when everything points to ‘no’ ‘yes’ is all I can say to you.

Emotion
Sometimes emotion gets the better of me I believe it can get the better of all of us. We’re prone to feeling things we can’t control affected by situations we fall into. It’s times like these I feel it would be beneficial to be emotionless, like a machine so that none of the pressure of the world could ever get to me and bring me down. But I could never give up the beauty that...

Is there a place?
Am I a burden or a waste of space? Am I to be ridiculed or tucked away? Do I embarrass you or cause you regret, do you sometimes wish we’d never even met? Would I have been better to have never been born to never be this child the object of scorn? If everything I do only disappoints you then trying to please is probably moot. So give me a reason to stay, at all or I’ll walk out of your...

Pieces.
It wasn’t what you thought when things fell apart and now you’re left with the pieces that won’t fit together and a gaping hole where your heart once beat.

Samuel.
You move from heartbreak to heartbreak never pausing to examine why you cannot hold a single relationship. You don’t need to be in a relationship to find your identity you don’t need an other half to make you yourself a whole. You are more than enough, alone though you don’t seem to see it.
Sometimes, it’s wise to be single.

Forgotten (For you.)
Picture frames filled with faceless figures memories that slipped through the cracks of this mind and got lost on pavements long since forgotten.
A life lived, a lifetime ago a closet filled with unrecognisable clothes unseeing eyes glazed over.
It seems time wore away leaving the present to vanish in an instant and history a hazy image.

Epitaph
There’s something magical about cemeteries a haunting beauty in a place of loss and sadness.
Each gravestone, each epitaph a momentary glance just one scene in the movie of someones lifetime.

Matthew.
Like light piercing shadows I find revealed in me feelings I forgot that I thought I’d left behind.
You were gone for so long but when you walked in you upturned the soil and brought back this love from the grave I’d left it in.
You have the power to resurrect but I’ll keep the grave open chances are this love will be buried again soon.
For this reason I should say no I should...

Merry Christmas, y'all.
Whether it’s a white Christmas or a summer celebration; if you’re feasting with your loved ones or spending time alone; no matter how you celebrate I wish you the happiest of days and a very merry Christmas; I hope you’re feeling blessed on this very special day.
Oh, one more thing. I wish a very happy birthday to the Saviour whose birth we celebrate on this day.

It's Christmas, once again.
A year’s flown by it’s Christmas, once again. Of all things I could wish for there is only one thing I need. My Christmas wish this year is simply that you will stay because I’ll always have a place for you in my life, and in my heart.

Take my hand
Climb these walls with me and let’s see what we find on the other side. Take an adventure and we’ll see the ends of the earth. We’ll follow the sun and we’ll dance in the rainstorms. Take my hand and we can be anyone we can go anywhere we can do anything.
