  The girl has a collection of seashells that she holds very near to her heart. The collection has grown so vast in multitude that you can hardly tell the end from the start. Each shell has its own tale of passion, honor, and strife Much like the different circumstances the girl encounters dur...

  Thoughts Held Captive

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Soldiers have taken the thought of you, and placed it in a high-security prison. The other army waits for opportunities to rescue the thought, but so far none have arisen. Instead it remains under defense: isolated and shackled in its cell, As the two militias battle outside over sen...

  The Attic

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Like a grandmother’s old attic is my mind. Boxes are stacked from wall-to-wall; some in front, some behind. I once read somewhere that it is best to pack the bad memories out of sight, so those boxes are on the bottom, under the ones that are light. The problem with this system that arose ...

  LIfe's Ride

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Time has strapped me into his roller-coaster of life and refuses to set me free. He has strategically placed my demons in the darkest tunnels of the coaster where no one will hear my screams. He has conveniently placed my triumphs at the highest point of ascension; among the clouds f...

  Solving You

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Let's solve an equation, shall we? To be put into simplest terms: you and me. Assuming there's a letter on each side one of us has to buck up and not hide. So let's subtract...fear, to give it a name, now all the letters are together the same. Next we take away fear from the oth...

  I Renounce You

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  After all was said and done, the girl slowly uncurled her fingers. It wasn't easy, no, for the muscles had been out of use for so long. Scabbed bloody and stiff, the girl marveled at the small act of freedom. She was so caught up that she momentarily forgot the jagged remnants taking ...

  Your Old Sunglasses

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  I took a walk, you see down the battered path of you and me. Remembering the good that we once had the smiles and laughs before all went bad. And as painful as it may have been to basically lose you all over again, I can now say with definite certainty that we together were cursed with dysfun...

  You Can't

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  You can't give an alcoholic a sip, then take it away You can't buy one shoe, and call it a day. You can't start to cry and then simply stop You can't pause a roller-coaster right before a drop. And you can't back out of a beam routine after you start In the same wa...

  Without You

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Without you I am blind, missing the vivid colors I once knew Without you I am torn, half of a whole that was you Without you there is darkness, no more light I was accustomed to Without you all is silent, there is no laughing I can do Without you I am broken, no hope of ...

  Heartbreak Anthem

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  I'm not just another girl, this isn't all a game. I refuse to be another photo in your temporary frame. You think you're so brilliant, girls always give for you to take. Just wait until you fall for me I'll give that cold heart a break. Soon you'll come to realize ...

  Etch-a-Sketch

  

  By AudieB123, Spring Grove, MN

  Thud, bounce, boom, crash; go the thoughts in my head. They are energizer bunnies, going on and on. They are the ocean waves thrashing rhythmically. With all the activity, you'd think there would be some variety. Of course not- It's the same idea wearing different disguises. You...
