The Villains We Keep

A Writer's Soul

It is said that heroes never die;
Always remembered in the legends they unleashed upon the world.
But these legends are one side of the story,
And the warning reads, “These are fictional events, not intended to be taken as fact,”
Yet, she reads the stories as though they were history,
Written in the riddles of wise old men and daring heroines.
The fairy tales cloud her mind with hope and adventure,
Blinding her to the dangers of the world she fell into.
(But stories always hold a lesson of truth somewhere in between the pages.)

So she waits for her own hero,
For the heart that will heal her broken love.
But she has waited too long, and since grown disdainful towards these heroes.
So she begins finds solace in their villain’s motives,
And she could never understand why the hero gets the girl.
The hero never challenges her…

TONIGHT

I love these words: “sipping shots of memory.”

EllahHalletsWrites

Tonight is the day I write the most sincere words I can adhere to,tonight is one of those moments I slit my wrists and allow myself to bleed,not just with the pen,

Today is the time I make confessions my heart won’t agree, today is the day I side with my head with reason of the heart.

Today is the twenty-second day of the month of December, I’m seated in the same timeline sipping shots of memory and gazing on tear stained pages and bloody covers covered in unsolicited feels

I’m inhaling the evening cloud into the system and exhaling the dusty mist into the horizon. On normal I’ll be elsewhere.

Today is the day I let the myself be encompassed under the same blanket of the stars and the moon and the sun and feel normal breeze, exposing the tattoos on my skin.

The bruises…
