"Lonely"

November 28, 2018; Hint, Dribble, Drabble

Hint; The Quiet


The middle of nowhere is the scariest and most comforting place to be. No one to hear you sing, no one to hear you scream.


Dribble; Alone


“Alone” is a pine forest, damp and dark. All vibrant, sad colors, the green of leaves, the green of jealousy. “Alone” is the breeze, gusts of cold air that chill your skin and flush your cheeks. “Alone” is the fear of being forgotten. “Alone” is the fear of being remembered."


Drabble; Ghostly Girl

  

I am trapped in an odd place where solitude is too silent, and companionship is too clamorous, but I cannot decide which poison I would rather pick. I wish to be a ghost, an apparition, a fog of a person. I could waft into a room, dance through the fingers of warm, corporeal hands, the loved ones I have left behind. I could float through conversations and bob through crowds. I am the squashed fly upon your wall and the wilted petals of a wallflower. I do not wish to be alone but I also cannot wish to be accompanied.
