Send the Band Home
Skylar Jones Aug 2016
I was never one to fantasize about my wedding day or obssess about the identity and whereabouts of my groom to be . I just viewed marriage as pleasant expectation.
Something wonderful that would come in its due time
But now I've come to my sences. Untie the boquet, tell the flower girl to ignite her roses, tell the ring bearer not to take caution, pour the champaign down the drain and tear down the wedding cake.
The groom isn't going to show .
And I don't blame him
What awaited him was an asylum in a white dress .
Each step would have brought him closer to being chained to a despondant soul.
I want to love someone,someone  that is all mine . Love them with everything in me and wake up each day with my whole would resting on the pillow next to me. But it's not fair to try to love someone when you don't love yourself. I can't charge someone with the responsibility of holding me together. I won't ever be that selfish. So groom to be stay where you are if you see me coming run for the hills .
I'll silence the wedding bells and send the band home. Don't waste a perfectly good tux on me .

Leave
Skylar Jones Aug 2016
I've tried for a while to avoid her. But today I saw her.  She held my gaze and
As the seconds passed any joy I felt was ****** into the void of her brown eyes.
Why does she always do this to me? Why won't she leave me alone?
Every time she's near I hear her song. The worst song I've ever had the misfortune of hearing.  It only grows louder and louder until it's deafening! all I can do is let it run its course.
Why won't she just go away?
Instead she taunts me.
She knows there is nothing I can do and so she continues to mock me.
I've begged her to leave and to take her song with her
Through tears I've pleaded with her to let me have peace but she just sings her song and I'm forced to sing along.
I try to hide ,and pray one day I'll lose her ,
but she waits for me in rivers and lurks in every mirror.

Effortless
Skylar Jones Aug 2016
There is a beautiful serenity in simple conversation.
I don't want to feel obligated to dazzle with big words or with intricate philosophies.
Let's talk about the simple things, they may not be of much importance of others, but others fail to see that a wonderful life is comprised of simple things and effortless momments.
You don't have to look far for inspiration,  just read to me the words etched on your heart , where expressions exist in their purist form ,and when you're done I'll read to you the words engraved on mine.
Let's talk about leaving footprints on beaches around the world and about all the wonderful things the years to come  will bring.
When we've finished purging our hearts, let us welcome the comfortable silence and take in the slender of this effortless moment.

— The End —
