Indifference Stories

Marie knew for a month. A full month, that he was hers. She didn't want to reveal herself because she wasn't a fan of self-inflicted heartbreak. Inevitably, however, he found out. And, it was no surprise when he rejected her out of hand. There was just one thing: she wasn't planning to change his mind the conventional way.

These poems are letters, confessions, quiet thoughts, and love I don't always know how to say out loud.

Poem

Poems that sit in the middle, between love and hate. "The opposite of hate is not love, it is indifference." -Elie Wiesel Is indifference a bad thing? Not having concern or interest? Not having strong opinion of hate or love? Well, I am indifferent, to such questions.

Togetherness in our differences

This is an official entry to RomancePH's April Blues prompt contest. *** So, this is how I broke his and my heart at the same time. It's nothing glamorous. No fancy excuses or beautiful lines. Just throwing away the very words that weighted me down.

Richard Delaney has never been the type to chase. The star basketball player, the golden boy, the one who never has to try-until her. Samantha Dawson is different. She isn't throwing herself at him like the others. In fact, she barely acknowledges his existence. And that? That's a problem. What starts as a bet turns into an obsession. She's not the hottest girl he's ever seen. Not the most stunning, not the kind that usually turns heads. But there's something about her-the way she laughs, the way she doesn't try, the way she doesn't care. Richard wants her. No, he needs her. But the harder he tries, the more impossible she becomes. And when the game stops feeling like a game, Richard is forced to ask himself- Did he start this just to win? Or did he just lose himself to her?

Breaking Down. A bitter heartbreak. Getting over someone that was never yours. And figuring things out in between.

It's about drinking and stuff.

A poem on the true nature of fate, if destiny is real, and what our world has to say.

Elia has finally triggered the posession of her ability. To tame blue fire. It was meant to be a blessing, but the way she received it was not. The process to obtain the control takes too much for someone like her. She wasn't ready, for the people she was bound to work with, the people she was supposed to fear and the people who WILL come after her for the gem she holds within her. From then on, it is not Elia who will live on, but the gem. If it escapes from her grip, she's dead. Even if the people still manages to stay alive after they no longer have there given ability, then they live a long, painful death. A Septer is what she is now, the good side of the Gem Bearers who learn control and train to stay alive in life. Crystal Elm is where they all belong, their home. It was the only safe place away from the Sixers, the turned backs of the Septers, and the Falconers, killers of the kinds. Be careful not to get caught or run into any Sixers and Malarcs. If you do, fear for your last breath .. Because I will ..
