A Wife in a Million by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

A Wife in a Million

He crept up the grand staircase, along the corridor and up to the bedroom door, checking over his shoulder from time to time. As he reached the gilt handle, his pulse quickened. Swiftly he turned the handle and opened the door, just enough for him to slip in. He winced as the heavy door creaked, froze as from somewhere nearby in the vast mansion he heard Lord Leonard grunt during his afternoon nap. One of these days he was going to give that hinge a good oiling – but not just now… A few tense minutes later, he inched perilously through the gap in the doorway and silently pushed the door to. He'd repeated this exercise many a-time, each time

The Clique by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

The Clique

The social safety net A cosy clump of characters All have their place, their role to play Thank you very much The isolating force Exclusive membership only All places filled, all roles covered Thank you very much A place where you belong Safe, secure and sanctified All feel included, all valued Thank you very much The most dangerous weapon around No intruders welcome No tag-alongs, no wannabes Thank you very much ------------------------------------------------------------------- Friendship groups sub-divide The cream of the crops are all allied And what becomes of former friends Who cannot meet these select trends? But c

Slipping Away by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Slipping Away

Slipping away, away, away It's silly to think that you might stay It isn't as if life works that way But I hate to see you slip away You barely spend an hour a day By the side of your sworn companion now. We used to work, rest and play Together - it seemed to work somehow Growing apart, apart, apart It's silly to clasp you to my heart It wasn't intended from the start But I hate to see us grow apart And when I muse on days gone by When nothing came before a best friend I reminisce and heave a sigh – So sad that such sweetness had to end. Slipping away, away, away It's silly to think that you might stay It's not as if life wo

Swine by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Swine

Swine. Eyes sweep over me Registering, but not responding. Fine. Meaningless? I agree Defy it, but don't deny it. Swine. Lift the cloud of lies, Look past the lying eyes, And relive a guilty pleasure A drunken night of leisure When society's back was turned And a firey passion burned Fake. Not popular enough for you? Plasticised = Romanticised. Snake Dirty two-faced screw Spineless, but a social success. Fake. Revisit the other night, When prejudice took flight, And remember you didn't care For my friends or what I wear When darkness masked the truth And drink united youth ------------------------------------------

The Price to Pay by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

The Price to Pay

With life's ups come its downs, Happiness is never free from frowns. One moment finds you flying high But soon enough you say goodbye To save yourself from devastation I know you guard against elation. You'd sooner stay on middle ground To keep from being messed around But I tell you I'd gladly shed a lifetime's tears, Be tortured by my paranoid fears, Just to spend my life with you - To cherish those moments, though precious few But, alas I know you shy Away, away, afraid to cry. That risk you will not take, dear friend - For fear that such sweet joy will end And I tell you Yes, you know as well as I That such young love i

Wait by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Wait

Wait. You've lost me there If it's not me Then why leave? Nothing I've done? Then why can't we go on? Hold it. You say I made you happy Well same here! So why disappear? You're filled with guilt? Then why break what you built? Stop. I'm not getting it If you care so much Then why lose touch? I'm your best friend? Then why should it end? Well... If you must leave, make it easy - If you do me right, If we don't fight, It's harder to forget. It only leaves regret When you speak, don't be good - Words that are kind Will trouble my mind You see it's much worse If I can't curse You're still sweet, but I want you to hurt m

The Contortionist by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

The Contortionist

Don't like it? I change A small sacrifice My life I rearrange So it will suffice I'm a contortionist There's nothing I won't do I squirm and I twist And I do it all for you I stretch myself out To spare a little more time I'll bend myself about Because I know you're mine I'm a contortionist There's nothing I won't do I squirm and I twist - My devotion to you I bend over backwards Again and again I force myself onwards All for you, my friend I'm a contortionist There's nothing I won't do I squirm and I twist But is it enough for you?

A Beautiful Rogue by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

A Beautiful Rogue

It was upon a summer's day You stole my heart then stole away We came, we met and then we left And since my heart has been bereft Then summer passed and winter came My feelings for you stayed the same And all along I wondered why The time so quickly had to fly Twas not until the next July That your fair face I next did spy We talked, we trysted and I fell For that beautiful ne'er do well Then swiftly passed another year In which shed I many a tear That those eyes of bluish green For months and months I had not seen Next summer, when I saw your face There stood another in my place She held your hand and kissed your lips And

Paranoia by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Paranoia

I'm paranoid Do you love me or Are you just playing along? Are you feeling What I'm feeling or Have I got it so wrong? But what can I do to relieve this? I cannot read your mind. I know that it's true yet I cannot believe this I'm afraid that you'll leave me behind. Do I stay In your mind like The way that you're staying in mine? Do you spend Every moment thinking Of me all of the time? I can't shake the feeling of fear You forget me when I'm gone I miss you so much when you aren't near But do you think that I am the one? The feelings of doubt In my lovesick head Will you move Straight on after A time, to another inste

Abandoned - part one by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Abandoned - part one

Would it trouble you too much To sit and eat with us? Could you possibly tear yourself away? You always mope and sigh When without your guy. We've had enough, he simply cannot stay. Pick and choose - Who'd you rather lose? We're taking a stand. Our feelings bruised From being ill-used. It's us (your mates), or your man. He is psycho, believe us. HE caused all this fuss. We don't want to see you get hurt. But our friendly advice Clearly will not suffice. Instead you rub our faces in the dirt Well two can play that game - While he drives you insane We'll blank you all day long, Until you realise He's Lennie in disguise. T

Abandoned - part two by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Abandoned - part two

Get away from her Stay away from her You only cause her pain Soon they'll find Something's up with your mind You're psycho, you're fucking insane Let her be Go on, set her free Despite any love you have shared You've got her trapped You'e her handicap Free her, for she is ensnared You're too possessive Scarily aggressive For fuck's sake leave her alone She may be your girl, Your life and your world But she is NOT something you own.

Bird Song by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Bird Song

Bird song heralds the new dawn's light Stirring the senses, ending the night Evoking the spirit's joyous delight Body and mind, freed to take flight Swooping, dipping, diving low Climbing fast and diving slow Surfing breezes to and fro Leaving sorrow's pain below Soaring swiftly through the crisp sky A bird's eye view, the world flows by Air rushes past, ascend on high So this is how it feels to fly.

The Ballet by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

The Ballet

Enter… Clodhopping feet Entwined in blocks Cutting ribbon Like clowns Hammer hits string- Pull up, tense every muscle Toes extend, calves tighten Pull up, to heights Beyond nature's plans Pain, ache, tensed Bar 2… Spring into movement Twirling pirouette Faster faster En arierre Posé, pose Turning whirling I take the very air The light Twisting weave it Into rainbows I breathe the very music It is my oxygen Bar 12… Grand jeté Higher, higher Assemblés Elevation, power This is strength Calves and thighs like rocks Stomach in Shoulders down Neck long Straining at every limb Taught and working The perfect mac

I AM Fantine by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

I AM Fantine

Thrown onto the ground Crawl across the limelight Head in hands Hear the hush – What will come? Hear the notes The build up I raise my head Agonising tears flowing Begin Piano at first A bittersweet tale Of rejection, betrayal Loss of innocence Only acting? You may say this is not me Not my story Not my soul But I tell you Here, on stage It is me I am Fantine I am lost in the lyrics The melody I give my all Powerful voice I am pouring my soul Through my lungs Wrenching my guts Through my words You will love me You do love me Here is where I belong What I was born to do Perform I give you everything I want y

Happy Birthday Emma by One-Flower-Lives, literature

Literature

Happy Birthday Emma

When all hope has dwindled away, And you're feeling lost and alone, When every sky is tinged with grey, And the wind begins to moan, And when it seems all hope is gone, Just smile to yourself and say "I have friends who treasure me, every one, Who will never go away, I've a family who love me so, Be they here or in heav'n above." So remember, when you are feeling low, You'll always have our love!

self evaluation

0 min read

Well how odd. Im going through some major changes. Ive looked at myself now and just six months ago. Im a totally different person. 6 months ago: Hung up over a couple of guys, feeling very lonely and unwanted. Having major confidence issues and insecurities over the opposite sex. Then, shall we say, I went to a good few parties ;p and had a fling or two. Sure, they boosted my confidence temporarily, but I still had that hollow feeling afterwards. After all, you might feel great getting with a totally hot guy at a party (and heaven only knows they make you feel wanted at the time, with the lines they spin), but that excitement disappears i

Ugh. Blehhrtdmo ach eeekk arrrghhhh !! And that's what went through my head. I wanted to be sick and faint and scream and cry and the ground to swallow me up and run and hide and leap into his arms and punch him and kiss him and scratch out his eyes all at once I wasn't prepared I thought I was ok And I nearly died He just appeared out of nowhere and I wasn't composed at all and my heart went dududududududududududududududududududddduuhhhhh Like I'd just been on a really long run. You know when you can feel it in your chest and your neck and your head and you think it's going to burst a vessel. And then you feel dizzy and want to collap
