AliAnselm in Poetry & Free Verse

Only a Fling

It would only be a fling.

She wasn't the kind to break up a happy home.

It was a service, nothing more.

A friend unsatisfied, well, that needed remedied

Didn't it?

She could try to justify it.

Try to make it seem reasonable.

But when she left his house that evening,

She knew,

He knew,

It was more than a fling,

And it would happen again,

But who would end up hurt?

Only time could tell.

Challenge
Write the most touching story possible in 10 words or less. Poetry or prose.
AliAnselm

Almost

She almost survived.

But almost is never enough.

AliAnselm in LGBT

I just want to be accepted.

But instead, I'm excepted.

Not a "normal" sexual preference,

So I can't stand on the hetero side of the fence.

But I also don't find my same sex appealing,

And in my loneliness, I am left reeling.

I just want you to see,

Even as an asexual, we don't have it "easy"

So I don't see the point of this blatant separation,

As I still get judged and cannot have normal relations.

This was a very upsetting realization,

All I can ask is that one day aces, aros, demis, and graces will all be welcomed to the LGBT nation.

(Note: feeling lost, confused, or utterly alone? Feel free to message me at any time)

Challenge
Your favorite quote or something you want people to quote you by.
AliAnselm

Destruction

In the end, you destroy what loves you most because what you loved the most destroyed you.

Challenge
This is a form of writing called a triptych. It consists of 3 syllables per line, 3 lines per stanza and 6 or 9 stanzas per poem. Any subject. Have fun with it. *******If you are looking at this challenge at this point, please also look at some notes I published this morning under the title Triptych Challengers...it has some additional information I'd want you to be aware of. Thanks.*******

Angelic

Don't you see?

I love you.

You love me.

Fading fast,

Save me now,

Can't take it.

It's too much.

I give up.

I'm sorry.

Tried your best.

Good enough.

Now go home.

Sleeping now,

Angelic,

Full of grace.

Should've known,

Could've saved,

Would've cared.
