Out of Sync

I’m out of sync.  I’m muddled up. My head is screwed on.  I know you’ll never leave her and I would never ask you to.  I know what we are.  I know our limitations.  I’ve never been under any impression that you would want any more than this with me. But my heart is beating […]

Broken

Where to start, Its been a month since we last spoke, when I say spoke it was more a tirade of abusive messages aimed at me. I won’t lie, I never have lied, though I’ve been accused many times by this person, yet anyone who had seen our relationship go on and off and on […]

Shattered, but not scattered.

I found my fire. I tried to have a conversation, but that only works if you both are willing to talk. He wasn’t willing. He was too scared, I think, so instead of being open, he attacked. So I’ve had to lose a friend, plus the friend who is his partner. It looks like I […]

Touch

Often, I think I can get by without love. I don’t really know what it’s like, so I don’t really know what I’m missing. I keep hearing about it, and it sounds wonderful. But really, to me, it’s the stuff of myth.  And anyway, I wouldn’t know what to do with it if I tripped […]

Aching

She never touches me. Beneath this stoic exterior beats a passionate heart and an inferno of unexpressed and unquenched desire. A painful knot of self doubt. A very masculine lack of confidence, whittled away down the years. A glimpse of a pretty girl and my imagination takes hold, flared nostrils, a quickening of breath, a […]

Shattered

He told me he would look after me, and I believed him. He told me he missed me, and I believed him. He told me I was his, and I believed him. And the worst part of it all is, he was telling the truth. He meant it when he said it. But now we […]

The Fan

She first contacted me four years ago. Told me she loved me because of what I wrote. Told me she couldn’t stop thinking of me. Turned out she was far too young. Illegally so. I did the right thing and let her down. I told her not to communicate with me. Years went by and […]

A lie

My whole life is a lie. Every part of my life is filled with deception. Not one aspect of it is untouched. In my vanilla life, no one knows that I am kinky or bi-sexual. It is my secret. My dirty little lie that would have me kicked out of my church, disowned by my […]

Stupid Girl

It wasn’t supposed to happen but it’s too late now. He’d never leave her and I’d never ask him to. But now I love him and I don’t ever want to have to let him go. I live for the rare moments when we wax lyrical about what it might be like if we were […]

A Hard Truth to Bear

I am not ambitious in my work, even though I am very good at what I do. I have wondered, often, why this is. I am usually very driven, very goal oriented. Ambitious. But the past few years, not nearly so much. As I pull this thought out of my head and put it on […]

Stop, Don’t Stop

A man assaulted me, once. It happened at a house party.  I was very drunk. I was laying on the floor on top of a sleeping bag with a blanket around me.  I had removed my dress and was wearing only my bra. I was wrapped pretty securely in that blanket, laying on my front, […]
