  The sticky sweet sap of my tree drips lazily down its rough bark. My cicadas whir and buzz and chirp away high above me. I smell my apples that have fallen, been trod on, and have been discovered by my insects, who feast on its sugary goodness. My grass is new and crisp and green – well, the gr...

  By chocolateskunk7, Ft Worth, TX

  Two choices. Two lives. Each end in sadness, Each a different kind. One—a sadness of the loss of the unknown. Two—a sadness of the loss of the loved. Both grievous, agonizing. What kind of choice is that?...

  I know I shouldn’t But I have to Magnets pull me toward heartbreak I know I shouldn’t But I do Blindly falling when hopes dash I know I shouldn’t But when I don’t I panic, systems crash Wishing for what never will be, I hope, hope for the impossible … The phone rings. â€...
