Writer. Sometimes.

I told her I loved her but in fewer words. She listened with her eyes that shone like two distant stars in an otherwise empty night.

He said he loved The Beatles
Whats your favorite album I asked
He paused
Probably 67-70 he said
& I knew then that we could never be friends

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

We were going to climb a mountain
Mock the stars
Shout obscenities into the night
And laugh
And love
This was our dream
What happened to us?

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

The uncertainty of the silence
When there's still that faint glimmer of hope that things will be okay
Then uncertainty yields
To fear & fury

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

Ive never been in a fight
I should get in a fight
I should fight you
Beat you up
Or you beat the crap outta me
Whatever
Ive nothing to lose

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

I wrote a list of 100 reasons why I thought we should be friends
I thought you'd like it
But then I thought you wouldn't
So I threw it away

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

She was a medium sized fish.
In a medium sized pond.

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

You talked of how you'd blighted trust. Destroyed marriages. And the pride in which you said that. Left an impression. That won't go away.

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

There's nothing when she walks by now
Cold
And empty
The soft sickly scent of the death of something that was never given the chance to live

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

There is beauty within us all
Something
Somewhere
Find it
My god find it if you havent already done so
And let others see
Shine
Be it

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

I don't know.
When.
To.
Stop.

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

And I think
When all is said and done
That you can’t have someone like me
And I don’t want someone like you

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

It's day 272. And like every one before it, it begins and ends with you.

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

I read a book she liked
I'm glad he died, I said
Oh really? she said. I thought he was so much like you
That's why I'm glad he died, I said

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

This is where we sat
When everything was good
Before it all went wrong
And now once again just a bench
And empty

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

I have 306 unread email messages. Not because I'm popular. It’s because I just can't be bothered anymore.

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

I don't know why i still do it
Waste my time
Chasing you around
Calling
Caring
Thinking
When you'll never love me
Never did
Yet, still I do

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

When again you find the courage to open your eyes
You will find that the absence of beauty that once closed them
Was there all along

[Very Short Stories @VeryShortStory1]

We search so desperately for happiness
Yet so easily, sadness finds us

Amy's watching TV
I just drove past her place & saw her
Sitting there
Watching
& me sitting
Watching her
She doesn't know
See me Amy
See me
