call all in

The invisible border that separates them usually gets crossed. He’s tried hard to detach but somehow keeps coming back. He knows nothing will come of the bond that they hold. They’re friends now, there’s no way they’ll go back. She can’t do it again, the ups and the downs. It’s just not stable enough. There [...]

over and over

He sits there silently, staring blankly at the scenery. His face rests against his palm, with his elbow resting on the window sill. Occasionally he’ll come to attention and observe a house the train passes, but once it’s out of sight he’ll continue to think his thoughts.
He knows that his time is over and all [...]

cover yourself

When you first said those three words he was a bit overwhelmed. A bit taken back but was trying hard not to offend. He appreciated the sentiment but found it hard to reciprocate. It’s not something that can be taken lightly after only three months of dating.
I’m sure that you’d meant it and I’m sure [...]

accept defeat

Between awkward silence they’ll mutter a one word sentence. Eye contact’s avoided as they stare at the floor. Radio and engine, bother turned off. As the light of the sun sets over the trees, so do hopes of ever working this out.
It’s far too late for either of them to say they’re sorry. It’s far [...]

disappear

The only words to describe this would be “out of character”. It was like you were a different person moving in the exact same body. His influence and charm, you could not resist. Don’t blame yourself, because nobody blames you.
A lustful encounter that went a bit too far. Not exactly the way it was supposed [...]

one more chance

We’ve come to this point and we can’t go back. You’ll go your way and I’ll go mine. The only things left are memories and photos. Keep or discard? That’s for you to choose.
Remember when we stayed up all night in your car. I looked into your eyes and saw my future. The scent of [...]

deviant devoid

She’d always thought she’d be the one he’d run to. The late night phone calls, the cancelled plans. He’d make time for her like she’d make time for him. She’d always thought that what they had was special, something she could almost call perfect.
She was well aware of his other flings. She had complete clarity [...]

stutter

Your hands shake uncontrollably and you can barely hold a pen
You’re nervous and excited and your appetite’s gone.
 
You pace up and down the hallway to try relieve the anxiety.
 
The clothes that you’re wearing have to be cut to perfection.
The mirror, the bathroom, you have to look good.
 
You’re not usually this pedantic but this time is [...]

corporate governance

His day is filled with constant action.Endless meetings followed by boardroom lunches.No time to think with closing deadlines.All this done to satisfy the stakeholder.Bold, black emails fill his screen.The phone vibrates until it falls off the table.People walk past that he tries to ignore.The only thing on his mind is the March report.He finally leaves, [...]

promise me your world

When it all started out you thought he was everything and more.He was good to you, kind and caring.The words that he whispered made your knees go weak.The touch of his hand made your heart skip beats.Time spent with him would take top priority.A day without him was a day without air.You’d brag to friends [...]
