Six months on

This is a follow up of Taboo, my post from January. Six months my love.  Nearly six months since my last post here.  How far we’ve come.  Or maybe how far we fell.  It doesn’t matter.  I’m glad we did. “Why do you have to be you? Isn’t it enough that since you’ve opened up […]

Watching

Watching. I do that a lot. I watch him. I watch him interact and communicate. I watch him rise and fall. I watch him struggle. I watch him master those around him. I see relationships blossom and occasionally wilt. I am fascinated. My emotions run an excruciating gauntlet as I watch: protectiveness, joy, pride, sadness, […]

Your Task for Tonight

Little, I will be out tonight with my friends. I will text you when I am on my way home. You will be on the bed in your schoolgirl uniform with your Teddy waiting for me. Failure with be met with a harsh punishment. Sir

The Climb And The Crash

The climb was so fast that I look back on it now, wondering if it was a sign for where we are today. Those feeling that came out of nowhere, that drive for a connection growing and becoming more and more intense with each passing day. The shift from magnetic attraction to actual care for […]

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 […]
