May Prompts
41.08) I miss you, as I have for years, and retain a measure of respect for your temper, which someday may be all you have left of your independence. We begin to recognize each other, but appearances change and deceive us, like fog hides a reef.
42.08) This impulse may only be a futile, short-lived turning away from ends I cannot escape
43.08) My conscience is not clean, and I fear further reconstruction. I'll try to make more amends but only feel capable of imagining ways of breathing more easily in order to say good-bye and make no new promises.
44.08) I'll leave out most of our sins as we glimpse the day you're allowed to back away untouched.
45.08) Feeling electric. Feeling 50,000 volts. (From "Next to Normal")
46.08) Some hidden magnet
Is pulling me back
Back to this strange little show
An invisible force
Dragging me off-course
Pulling me somewhere
I know I shouldn't go.
(from "Side Show")
47.08) Like a fish plucked from the ocean
Tossed into a foreign stream
Always knew that I was different
Often fled into a dream
I ignored the raging currents
Right against the tide I swam
But I floated with the question
Who will love me as I am?
(from "Side Show")
48.08) I've been given ten thousand secrets
I've been given treasures to keep
I would give it all up to learn
how to weep
"Pieces" ~ Alice Ripley
49.08) I watched a tear freeze on your cheek
you said you were too sad to speak
"Violet Tree" ~ Alice Ripley
50.08) Sweetie, I have faith that you could fit an entire bad day into half an hour if you tried hard enough. ~ strangecreature in her fic Vital Things post on tim_don_a_thon
