She stood there waiting

Scanning

Anticipating

Her hands shaking

And like so many times before

There was nothing

No friendly faces

No one at all

Except this time, something inside of her broke

Something that felt beyond repair

A path with only dead air

You asked me once, how someone becomes haunted

This is how

Top 5 Songs (of the moment)

Tagged by the lovely @psychicbouquetlove to list the songs that have stolen a space in my mind at the moment. Anyone who knows me, knows I’m always listening to music. Music is one of my very favorite things on this earth, and when I share it with someone, that is love for me. So with that being said, these are the songs that captured me lately.

1. Amen-Amber Run:

I’ve lost a lot of people in my life and this song captures just what that’s like. (A heavy one). But with such raw feeling there is always beauty.

2. Paradise Circus-Massive Attack

This one is a seductive lullaby. It both entices and calms me.

3. Forever-Dee Dee

A classic trance song from my younger years, that I forgot about and hope to never forget again. Still gets me. “I dreamed that our love will last forever.”

4. Strange & Beautiful- Aqualung

This one signifies hope to me. I know it’s fourth on the list, but it’s probably my favorite. @noleftexit put a spell on me with this one.

5. What The Water Gave Me- Florence + The Machine

The feeeeeeeeling evoked by this. A masterpiece.

Thanks for coming on this journey with me. Tagging all music lovers.

Sometimes I wonder what would happen first

You trying to change me

Or your desires seducing me

Into me doing it myself

Can we still make sense even if we don’t?

“Take all that you need,” you said.

But I needed it all.

Every word.

Every thought.

Every touch.

Everything that you had inside of you.

I needed it all.

And I knew it wasn’t fair of me to ask,

But I asked anyway.

If I were to give you a word to describe the way I’m feeling lately

It would be cold

Bone-chilling cold

And no matter what I do

I cannot seem to find warmth

At least not in the places that I want to

A fleeting safety

A hindered sense of promise

It seems I have chained myself

To a lie once again

At least make it pretty, won’t you?

And what is left of us,

If curiosity is gone?

prompt: meteor showers and midnight kisses

Her words fell like meteors

Full of heat and magic and pain

He wanted to catch them

But he didn’t know how to hold a girl like that

A girl full of stars and midnight kisses

A girl full of heart and whimsical wishes

And so he had a choice to make

He could run into the fire leaving behind the life he always knew

Or he could continue as he was with the darkness his mental muse

Tick

Tock

Time is a false promise

So tell me, what do you choose?

Foolish games

I guess we never had to have that conversation after all

Not when your actions

And your silence

Said everything I needed to know

And still, when someone says your name I smile

And then there was an earthquake. I’m shook. Literally.

#earthquake #sheesh #instant anxiety for this gal

[illbeyouranchor]

The melody kissed my neck,

The way I longed to kiss yours.

Gently,

Slowly,

And with patience.

Until finally,

It swallowed me whole.

I need my feelings set on fire.”

Whiplash

Everything is different

And yet exactly the same

And here I thought

You weren’t like the others

And here I thought

That I wasn’t either

Would you call yourself an old soul?

I have heard that once or twice. Would you call me an old soul?

Your writing feels like it comes from a place I know. I hope you're doing well.

And what place is that? Thank you for the well wishes. They warm my heart!
