It takes one person to save another's life. Listen. Pick up the phone. Show them that they are loved.

 

You Make Me Feel Less Alone

 

His hands are smooth,  

uncalloused,

as they touch my skin.

At the beginning of each

of my phalanges

lay thick calluses.

My thumbs,

and sometimes index fingers,

are torn up

and bleed from picking.

I can’t stop.

I’ve tried so many…

The "Invisible Woman" Maria: "Then There's You"

Posted on February 9, 2011 at 1:30am 0 Comments

I started writing this last night at 4 A.M. I have no clue where it's going, but I am super excited to find out! It is written in verse. I've been doing that a lot lately. Maybe it will merge to be a collection of verse stories- who knows.

Always too far away

from where I…

Everything That Never Happened

Am I sitting

in a lucid dream?

Tales of

wanted reality

dancing in the

distance.

Hands I wish

would brush mine,

seeming to

encircle

my fingertips

without asking.

So far away,

so far away,

so far away.

So real,

so real,

so real.

Torture.

Knowing

that it can’t

happen.

Torture.

Knowing

Hey Nicole! I am so sorry - I didn't see your post on my wall before! Where do you family live? I moved here 3 years ago and my dad and stepmom just moved to Eastover, about an hour and a half from me. :)

I'm not working on anything of a fictional nature right now (unless I'm smacked upside the head with the muse stick) because I'm co-authoring a nonfiction book with a friend in Scotland. The mindsets for fiction and nonfiction are so completely different (fiction is creative, whereas nonfiction is more structured, and while it can also be creative, it is also a bit sterile due to research, footnotes and such) that I don't think I'll be dipping my toes back into fiction until this book is complete.

Which is fine with me, I know for certain this will be published. It'll be nice to have something in print lol.

Sadly, no. Summer Reading at the library ate my brain. Productivity during that time was next to nil :( But I shall live vicariously through you lol.

Congrats on making it in the Oil & Water anthology!! <3

Excuse my vernacular...you're...not "your" in regards to you being "so young & so talented" LOL. I can be grammatically conscious, especially when it's late.
