    Solitary Writing

    I am just a simple girl, delicate; beneath your radar. The ordinary, nameless girl that you push past on a busy street. The girl who is left behind when more exciting plans arise; the girl who follows behind when only two of three friends can fit side by side on the concrete footpath. The girl who’s heart never seems to mend as she can’t accept that not everyone can love with the capacity that she does. The one who pushes people away with her affection and always finds herself alone in crowded places. I am that girl. The one that you will not look at twice, but if you do, you will certainly never look into my heart for what it’s worth; a million red roses and a never-ending pool of white wine. And I am that voiceless girl who has found her voice hidden in words.

      Perfection

      For years I could barely write a page. I thought I was becoming a virtuoso of smallness while the grief, which is wordless, occupied an ever-greater volume. My friend lived in the estates on the bad side of town. Let’s go to the forest, she said when

      A Broken Promise - Solitary Writing

      Dedication

      For my lion-heart.

      My heart would stop

      beating without you here

      to synchronize it with yours.

      And when I wake up

      in the middle of the night

      to an empty bed,

      I feel the pain

      of when you left

      all over again.

      And she cried under

      her black veil,

      as it was simpler

      to mourn his death

      than to come to terms

      with him leaving again.

      As I lay beside him

      listening to his heart beat,

      I can no longer recognize

      the pattern that once

      used to beat for me.

      And the wounds may have already healed,

      but the feeling of your touch on my skin

      will forever linger on my body,

      like a blanket of scars.

      He is everything that I need,

      whispered her heart.

      But you deserve more,

      her mind replied as she rested her

      ardent lips upon him.

      And on that night, thousands of people

      had fallen in love; and hundreds

      had fallen out of it.

      Her beauty lays in her words

      and the way that she carries herself.

      She could attract any type of soul

      but chooses to remain in love

      with the man that doesn’t look at her.

      Ashes Against the Wind

      And she sits on the old white baroque chair, in front of the boudoir, applying her fifth layer of mascara as it always stained her face with the tears that she bled for him.

      What do I tell him, that I’m still in love with him? Is that all it would take for him to come back to me?

      No, that won’t happen. I know perfectly well that he’s with her now and would never choose to love me over her.

      I still don’t understand why he would arrange to meet with me for ‘closure’. I don’t think he could forget about us so quickly, his heart is warmer than that.

      She looked into the mirror obsessively. Her emerald green eyes jumped from her face, turning a neon colour by the
