Misc. Short Writings

by brandyovereager

Summary:

I have a bunch of random poems, drabbles, and abandoned original works saved on my laptop. I decided to post some here. These are not associated with any fandom, though a few were inspired by fandoms (Can you guess for any of them? ;)). If you guys particularly like any 'verse, I might be inspired to continue with them (or convert them to a fanfic if that's your cup of tea?).

Chapter 1: Holes in My Heart (Poem)

Holes in My Heart

Missing parts
Somewhere I can never go to find them
In my dreams
They’re right in front of me
Suddenly I’m whole again

Aches and pains
Drifting half of me away
Renewing my own skin
Bursting empty from within

If I hold a little tighter
Would my world get a little brighter
Heart and soul sleep when I wake
Things that they touched
Futures and such
Distant, not for me to take

When it comes down to this
Left like a kiss
Hopes and a wish
Mistake

Ache, ache
Mistake

Folly to let my control falter
Give precious pieces up on the altar
Sacrifice more than you have inside of you
Alone, with no more to lose

Each time I think my all is all out
New facets appear that make me doubt
Throw it all heart-first
Over an edge
Of which I can see no end

Pieces and pieces
Puzzles of scars
Different cracks made by lovers in my heart
Try to sift through them
See what you’ll unearth
The shatters tell stories of hurt

A mosaic of delusions
Heartfelt conclusions
Just an illusion
But what a lovely illusion you are…

Empty
Coming up
Empty
Wanting for
Something
Not so impermanent

My worst dreams
Haunt my reality
Making me scared of things
That might never come true

Somehow though, they do
Never mine to lose
But I suffer just the same
