Jar Of Souls
There goes another one, it slowly slips away, It got lost like so many before, it simply lost it's way.
“And just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."
There goes another one, it slowly slips away, It got lost like so many before, it simply lost it's way.
Take my hand my love, I'll keep you safe from harm, Relax tonight beside me, there's no need for alarm.
If I were a butterfly I'd jump and fly away, Nowhere would I remain, if i didn't want to stay.
I have to let go of this boy that exist only in my dreams, In reality he's not quite the same, he's not all that he seems.
Your always there lurking, a shadow to my thoughts, Instead of inspiration, it's memories of you that are brought.
Every morning, as soon as I woke up I was counting down the hours until I fell asleep again, meeting Luc, in my dreams and embarking on the magical adventures he would take me on.
A hand appeared in front of my face, I grabbed onto it as my rescuer pulled me to my feet. I squeezed my eyes shut as the familiar feeling of dizziness.
The place was heaving with people, a thriving mass of bodies dancing to the beat of the music. I immediately felt claustrophobic as Olivia pulled me through the throngs of people towards the bar area.
I stretched awake, pulling the thick white duvet up to my neck, snuggling into the plush cover. A wave of excitement passed through me as I remembered where I was.
Your my little sis, just not by blood, Only known each other a few years, but your my best bud. You're always there to lend an ear, A shoulder to cry on when my tears appear.
Today it's my birthday, I just thought I'd say. But this one is special, even if it's a school day, I just can't seem to keep my excitement at bay.
'Love is composed of a single soul inhabiting two bodies.' Aristotle.
I finally found the one place, I can truly call my home, I found it at fifteen, now I'm nearly grown.
I begin my tale 30 years ago, When a boy met a girl and their love did grow. They met when they were just thirteen, In each others eyes their reflections did gleam.
I'm feeling rather odd today, It's only opuss that I want to stay. Can't seem to tear my eyes from your words, Read stories of murder, and poems of birds.
The very sight of your name, Will drive me insane. Your only down the road, yet you seem so far, Way up in the the sky, like a shining star.
Things between Lily and I were tense, all our conversations felt false and when we laughed I knew it was only because if we didn't we would both break down and cry.
She stared at me, her clear blue eyes open wide as she slowly and carefully explored my facial features with her fingers.
We both stepped out of the old-fashioned elevator at the same time, it was one of the ones where you didn't have a door only a metal grate to pull across.
'Run away with me.' he asked, staring down at me with his deep brown eyes, as the light faded with the setting sun. 'Of course.' I replied instantly.
I sit still and wait, for the day you come, For until that day my heart will stay numb. I sigh as I rest, twirling my hair, I need you to breathe, you are my air.
'Are you sure you still want to go, it's ok to change your mind.' my mum said hopefully, she was overprotective of me but I'd rather she was.
Always there to cheer us up, Picks me up out of the muck. Makes me smile on the darkest days, Breaks through the clouds like the suns rays.
I cant believe it was just three years ago we met, We'll always be friends, on that you can bet. Ever since that day we've been joined at the hip, Always together, get through the blips.
You may not have noticed but I've been gone a few days, But I'm staying in Canada, soaking up the rays. Had to wake up at witching hour, My family kept away, I was in a mood quite sour.
'I cannot go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.' Lewis Carroll- Alice in wonderland.
'Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.' Lewis Carroll- Alice in wonderland.
' why am I even here. You should never have come.' I scolded myself in my head as a crawled further into the dank tunnel.
'Do you think I've gone round the bend?' 'I'm afraid so. You're mad, bonkers, completely off your head. But I'll tell you a secret, all the best people are.' Lewis Carroll- Alice in wonderland.
Today I'm very excited, I ordered a new book, Can't wait for it to arrive so I can have a look. But you see this book is special, There's a fairy, croc and pirate vessel.
'You know that place between sleep and awake, the place where you can still remember dreaming. That's where I'll always love you. That's where I'll be waiting.' J.M. Barrie- Peter pan.
'The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease forever to be able to do it.' J.M.Barrie-Peter pan.
Please hold me close to your chest, This is the feeling that i love best. When I am with you, nothing compares, You kiss me softly, showing you care.
You say that your worthless, You mean everything to me. You say that you are ugly, Oh why can't you see. You say that no one loves you, But yet I'm tripping at your feet.
The very first day that we met, I fell deeply in love, but you didn't know yet. Whenever you flashed me a smile, My heart beat fast for a very long while.
Falling in love with you is the second best thing in the world but finding you is the first. Unknown.
I sat glancing around the bustling coffee shop as I patiently waited for Olivia. She bustled in and dropped into the seat beside me.
Your presence it hovers, the elephant in the room, I sit silently while inside I fume. You left my grandma, soon after you were wed, All along you'd had another woman in bed.
As I lie still, slowly dying, I know that my end will have you crying. One pull of the trigger and the stab of a knife, Will leave my whole family in their greatest strife.

She dragged me through the throngs of people until we were close to the house of the host. There was a small crowd gathered, which we pushed through.
I arranged with Olivia to meet her at the shopping center so that we could buy our outfits for the end of year party.
'I'm home.' I called out to the empty hallway as I kicked my shoes off and dropped my bag to the floor. A gorgeous smell wafted from the kitchen, which could only mean one thing.

I let my mind wander as my teacher, Mr Lambert droned on about choosing the right university, in less than a week I would be free from the daily school routine, with eight long weeks of non stop...
My Dad bought my brother a basket ball net, Much to the dismay of my ball phobic pet. Through the cat flap my dog will spy, While my brother shoots the ball high so high.
I just want to say a HUGE thank you to all those lovely people who ever liked, reposted or commented on my story 'Love and War.' When I first began writing it, I thought that maybe one, possibly...
I smiled as I saw Amelie racing across the garden, closely followed by Lucy's little girl, Olivia. Adam looked across at me, gazing at me lovingly and gently squeezing my hand.
Loving you is like trying to touch the stars, I know I can never reach you, but I can't help but try. Unknown.
It's about time you realized my heart is not a toy, I'm sick of being part of your wicked little ploy.
I couldn't take my eyes off his face as he drove us home, my smile beamed through all the heartbreak and despair that I had felt.
I've liked this one boy for quite a long while, Every time I see him I can't help but smile. But I doubt he'd even know who I am, I want to forget him, but I don't think I can.
I traveled down to base at Lucy's request. I opened the door to her room, barely putting a foot inside before she hugged me tightly.
As soon as I opened the door to the house, I dropped my bags and raced upstairs. I ignored Lucy's calls and collapsed down onto my bed, I buried my head into Adams pillow.
After a few more days we all agreed that I was better off, flying home.
When I woke up from my drug induced sleep, Adam was no longer beside me. The throbbing in my head had dulled slightly.
I tensed my body, as the heavy vase exploded over my head, dark dots swam in and out of my blurring vision.
He glared down at her, then the expression on his face became distant and he blinked rapidly. He dropped her arm suddenly, shaking his head.
(My 100th opuss. Whoop whoop!) 'can I help you.' she said sneering at Lucy. 'mmm fancy.' Lucy said picking up a small vase, inspecting it and then placing it back.
As I buckled myself in, I gazed out of the small window. Airport staff were riding little carts, going about loading and unloading suitcases.
I trudged towards the house, gravel crunching underneath my feet.
As the next few days passed Adam grew increasingly frustrated as he tried to remember. I walked into the spare room where he was sleeping, with coffee.
I rushed into Adams room, he was sitting up and talking to the doctor, 'ah Abby,' the doctor smiled turning around.
'what' I said shocked. I looked at his face waiting for a glimmer of recognition. 'who are you?' he repeated slowly. 'Adam...I'm Abby... You're wife' I said holding up my ring hand.
I just stared at phone as I felt my world begin to crumble around me, I was only brought back to the present by Lucy calling me, 'Abby...Abby where are you?' I stumbled out side, not seeing properly...
Hi guys, my best friend just got opuss and I was wondering if you could all welcome her into the community and follow her. Thanks, her name is @oushie12.
I kissed Adam goodbye tearily, he to had glittering tears threatening to spill out of his eyes as he kissed me and his precious child goodbye.
I woke up and stretched out my back, feeling for Adam beside me, my hands where met by cold rumpled sheets.
I tucked Amelie into the Moses basket that sat beside our bed, I couldn't seem to tear my eyes her, It felt like if I did that she would vanish.
I wailed as I began to push, crushing Adams hand in mine as pain swept through me. I arched my back and collapsed back down in exhaustion.
'Abby...' Adam yelled from the kitchen, I could already hear him coming thundering upstairs. I clasped at the base of my stomach, I was doubled over in pain. I felt a wet liquid slide down my legs.
I phoned Lucy as soon as we got back and told her to come over. I showed her photos of the house and rooms. She commented politely, but I noticed a sad edge to her voice. 'Lucy what's wrong?' I asked.
I sat bolt upright in my bed, Adam rising quickly. 'what's wrong.' he whispered. 'shhh' I said quietly, I took his hand and placed it flat against the right bottom of my bump.
Day by day you feel the pain,. Feel like there's nothing to gain. Here on opuss we all love you,. Like your personality and stories too. So all together we are here to say,.
Please follow @kelly_seasons she is an amazing writer that may soon be snatched from us, please follow her to give her hope and love and support.
'well...' the nurse said, focusing all her attention on the monitor in front of her, 'it looks like your having a little girl.' she said turning to smile at us.
' Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it.' Meltzer, Bernard.
'Abby!' cried my parents simultaneously. They rushed forward embracing me tightly, 'careful.' I said pushing them back lightly.
Adam sat staring at the phone, I sensed he needed to be alone, so i crept silently into the bathroom. I stood quietly waiting for the sound of him moving.
I gasped as the cool gel hit my stomach, Adam squeezed my hand excitedly, today we were going to see our baby for the first time.
Two days had passed since I found out I was pregnant.
'oh wow, Abby that's so exciting.' Lucy squealed hugging me back. 'how long have you two been trying?'. 'almost a year.' I sighed.
For the first week that Adam was away, I just wandered around my room, spending every second of the day thinking about if Adam was ok.
Adam and I kept trying for a baby, two months had passed since we had visited the doctor when it happened.
Adam ran up behind me and span me round 'I need you Abby, without you...
Adams face fell, he knelt down beside me he silently.
The rest of the honeymoon flew by in a blur of colour, sounds and heat. We flew home a week later, Adam and I were still trying for a baby, but weeks were turning to months and I was starting to...
One blue line, negative. Adam and both Let out the breath we had been unknowingly holding. 'maybe...maybe we should try another test.' Adam said almost pleading.
We spent the next 10 days alternating between days in the hotel and pool, and the beach. Adam and I had both turned a golden colour from the intense sun.
I blinked awake as the cool breeze blew in through the open window, I was wearing little pj shorts and a vest which had ridden up in the night exposing my midriff, I trailed my hand along my stomach...
The next day Adam and I flew out to the Maldives for our honeymoon. As soon as we stepped of the plane, we felt the heat hit us.
My dad snuck up behind me and took my arm, 'ready?' he said, eyes glittering. I nodded, the doors opened and everyone turned to look at me, I could already see my mum dabbing at her eyes.
Adam smiled and kissed me quickly before slipping off to his brothers room. Lucy smiled at me like a proud mother.
After breakfast Adam and I announced that we were leaving, to stay in a hotel as the wedding was in a week and we still had a lot of organizing to do.
Mum had her hair scraped back in a high pony tail, and had her apron tied around her waist and had a smudge of flour on her cheek.
I woke up stiff from being curled up in a ball and my face puffy from crying, I walked into the bathroom and splashed some cold water on my face.
We sat down for dinner, which would have been incredibly tense if it wasn't for Keith, he was constantly cracking jokes and asking Adam and I questions. Eileen, however sat in stony silence.
'what?' Adam said choking on his drink. 'Cathy' I repeated very slowly. 'oh she's just a girl I went out with years ago, before I even met you' he replied quickly.
'umm, mum this is Abby, you know the girl I'm engaged to.' Adam said desperately, shooting me apologetic looks. 'oh' she said looking me up and down disapprovingly.
We said goodbye to Lucy and Tom at the airport and promised to bring them back sone treats. We boarded the plane and sat in our seats, as I buckled up I looked at my ring.
