I didn’t find Gail there, in the room where our marriage had ended. Oh, it limped along for a little while after that–her desperate pleas to reconcile and the various legal nonsense kept it on life support for months–but there was no marriage there anymore. For a time, we lived as two roommates, albeit roommates who occasionally shared a bed for a quick hatefuck, but that’s not a marriage, is it? I took a quick peek insid...

I used to love our old house. Of course, that was back when it was “our” old house, when there was still an “us” to have a house together. Back before Gail had cheated, back before I’d divorced her, back before our lawyers wrangled over who got what. Months after the divorce, “our” house remained the sole shared marital asset, but not for too much longer. If she hadn’t slept with her co-worker, I’d have called the settlem...

As a rule, I didn’t mess with married women. Well, the ones wearing their rings, that is, the ones that were obviously married and didn’t even try to hide it. If a woman is in a hotel bar with her ring on, one of four things is probably going on: she wants to have a drink in peace; she’s waiting for her husband, either to go somewhere else or as part of some weird sex game I don’t want to be involved in; she’s too dumb to...

You took me as your own. I felt like I was home. No drama, no lies. Just feeling my internal cries.   I told you I needed pain. So you bent me forward and used the cain. Control was on your mind. As you swatted my behind.   Should have told me it wouldn’t last. Should of told me I was second class. Should of warned me you were spineless. Should have remembered the drama you cast.   As I move forward, I heed the warning si...

  Its time to move on pick up the pieces and for now never look back. Sure there were good times when her heart raced and soul was a glow. However, that isn't today. No longer will she feel the gentle caress of his fingers on her bare skin Or the brush of his lips on hers. Tears run down her face She feels that maybe in a different time and place it may have worked out but for now she's alone.

You've always been a believer,I stayed attuned to somethingthat seemed to cut much deeper.I didn't run and hidewhen the lightning struck,when it pulsated through veinsto light up where you were in the dark.I didn't flinch when tastinghow a final kiss can comein the shape of a bullet.Close enough to touch,close enough to never want to see inside of again.I once swayed and trembledlike a helpless worn violin,the bow clutche...

Continued from part one ~ At eight pm. sharp, I buzzed Olivia into my building. The loud buzz, and metallic click of the lock releasing, made her jump with a start. She checked herself in the mirrors on the interior of the elevator one last time and took a deep breath. When she reached my door, she hesitated to knock. As much as she was anticipating the new experience, not knowing what to expect made her understandably un...

"I'm so nervous," Olivia confessed to Janet as she reached for the glass of wine that her friend had poured for her. Janet smiled and shook her head as she replied, "No need to be nervous, Olivia. We're only going to discuss the possibility. You don't have to make a decision tonight, or any time soon for that matter. When you are ready, I'll introduce you to whom you choose." This would be new territory for Olivia. She ha...

It is never going to happen.Believe it.It is not going to happen.Nope.How long are you going to yearn.You have wasted so much time.They don't care.They never really cared.They let you think they did,but they didn't. Never going to happen.You are standing outside,in the pouring rain,metaphorically.But being soaked by the rejection,and it will never happen.Not sure if they even rejected you, or simply don't recognize you.Do...
