broodings

don't die, don't die

a selection of six word stories;

( quite a few of them inspired by song lyrics, see if you can figure out which songs )

the flowers grew, and then rotted

watch as the walls fall down

build your hope up like towers

lay down, cry your regrets out

three pm, on my feet staggering

three am, i'm blacking out again

feels like I'm falling in love

i'm not happy unless i'm running

you're the judge, set me free

the sun falls, the moon rises

all that counts is here, now

he smiled slowly, before he fell

he typed 'i-', then he died

then, the paramedics finished his text

sadly, my tears haven't dried yet

feel it coming out my throat

please talk until my breathing stops

oh no, we will not go

welcome to the black parade, friends

she smiled maniacally, jumped, then fell

i used to think we'd last

my mind is full of threats

stop, you're worth more than this

my ghost, where did you go?

give me therapy, I'm a travesty
