No one can hear you

My fingers tips run over the fragments of red paint still clinging to the railing. Chips flutter to the ground after my hands gently run over it. It feels like all the heat is being pulled from my hand, lingering where I had once traced, begging for me to come back.

Darkness surrounding everything except for one spot light across from me. Rain falls lightly in the distant street lamp like the first soft snow of the year. Silence is as vast as the darkness.

There is nothing here but you and me.

Your eyes like deep oceans being twisted by hurricanes; Turbulent and unforgiving. My soul aches to dive in and find the survivor somewhere within that has given up on hope. I scream out for you but there no response. 

Tempestuous heart jumps.

Take a deep breath and go under. I hold on to everything around me for safety, there is no one to rescue me when I get lost. Where are you?

Creative Writing- Dragons and Princesses

I’ve watched her grow up, as far back as I can remember. She was given to me to protect from all the wicked and evils that linger in the world. I  watched her fall asleep every night. Those big eyes looking up to me, examining my face for comfort, before those long eye lashes fluttered her away to dream land. Her laugh that echoed through the house like music spilling in your ears and filling your heart.
Before long she began exploring the world around her. Curiosity over took her just as she took her first step; Stumbling and then running into what she didn’t know. Climbing into the world one hand at a time whether it was ready for her or not.
She needed protected from herself.
I carefully guided her and showed her where she could not go. Where it was dangerous and what could scare her. As she grew older, her hatred towards me grew too; Always feeling like that I kept her there as a prisoner; Always hoping one day she would get rescued from someone like me; Always feeling like there was more to the world than what I offered her.
She was whisked off one day by a boy who said he came to rescue her from the cruel world she lived in and my heart shattered because I had given her everything, every part of me. She ran away that day and left everything that i gave her piled in the floor like it was trash; Leaving me lying over it all with my heart shattered around me.
She couldn’t see it but sometimes the Dragon falls in love with the Princess.
