The Man in the Corner

i never made an effort to stand out in a crowd, this sort of thing just came naturally to me. I am the first dab of ink on your quill; the first touch of paint on scorched canvas. i am holding nothing back; too bad i have everything to hide.

Broken People

The world ended the moment you jumped. I tried to catch you pretending i could fly and ended up breaking your fall. Our limp bodied slamming against the concrete, bones shattering, head breaking, neck snaping, blood trailing. There was nothing left. Its too hard to say hello after so many goodbyes. Once my absence hits you like a brick i want to be lucky enough to see you again, just so that i can leave you for once. -The Man in the Corner

Snowflake

Its past the time anyone should be pondering life, but there is an absence of sound while the voices in my head for once remain dormant.

As I write this, I stare to my side, head resting on my shoulder. The candlelight in my room casts a dancing silhouette on my canvas wall, while my broken heartbeat only beats for you… It’s a cold morning and the birds have yet to arrive. The frost has already landed and the morning snow has put families into a deeper slumber; all cuddled up in their milky pleasant sheets. I remain here for a moment of time, daydreaming of past, present and future. Thoughts began to break through. A broken boy growing into a man alone, wishing it could be infront of you. The motivation he withdrew from himself he never had before; driven to be the best he could be; impelling himself to try to be worthy… of this… one, flake of snow. You see, I never knew where this boy had been but i know where he was now; he was dancing on my wall and his heart, yet dismembered… was still beating. -The Man in the Corner

The victim

I am still a pupil but even days change entire ways I perceive ideas, people and life. I push people away to keep them safe from what I become as I age to stone. No longer shall I blame life or some fake religion for my wrongdoing. I AM LIABLE. My full understanding that I am accountable. Arriving to the realization that I am my own antagonist. Vanishing time still allowed for hours of learning in a matter of seconds. Had I never truly seen life before this moment? Tonight I gave into temptations but in so doing the world opened my eyes.

I could say my life was hard, but you might argue yours. It's just words. Neither can prove their experience because what really matters is how you dealt with it. How you took the opportunity to grow is the true question we should begin with... So how has time favored you?

February 18th

The love of my life said goodbye... As I walked out the door I whispered "don't go." I never thought she would return. A simple text and were meeting the month of our anniversary; a deer In the headlight, dazed from the screaming lights in the night. I'm about to get hit.

woke up crying

[themaninthecorner]

His story only lasted a cigarette, but it was the most scarred yet moving moment I've ever lived. In the end, I wasn't sure weather to breakdown in the middle of the road or smile by the way he lived.

There has always been something about the sea that moved me like no one else ever could... that was until i met "Him"

[themaninthecorner]

I've always believed that some things happen for a reason, and when you left out the back door; trying to avoid a man who only wanted to hear one story. I wasn't sure weather to pursue your story. After only brief moments he told me everything, yet nothing. When he was finished he left without a name. Just and idea. Just his own precarious way of looking at life. He was a man who had never told his story, and all i really left with was a curious sigh and an age of 30.

[themaninthecorner]

He wasn't upset by what life had dealt, but he ended every conversation with a deep oaky smirk and full dark-mahogany eyes.

If you ever think of something and you don't know how to put it into words, something that you've been pondering or makes you smile on a dull day, cringe in agony or stops you in your tracks, let me know. I would love to try to make something from it. Try to put a face to your blurred idea and translate my own interpretation of your story/tale/life/thought/anything.

The Man in the Corner

[themaninthecorner]

People say "I even miss the things i hated at this point", but i never hated anything. We loved each other for everything that we were. I loved your quirks, your habits. Any peeves just faded when i was around you.

We were to travel the world

You see, i wanted to travel with you but now i must travel alone. I decided to move to a new continent as soon as my schooling is completed, but now I'm looking at an alternative option. One that takes me far away to random places. It lets me travel, but not at my own leisure. It gets me physically and mentally fit and allows me to continue my life doing something to take my mind from the pain. I'd do anything to remove myself from the pain.

[themaninthecorner]

Everyone begins their thoughts with "What if?" because people are always worrying about something. I like to begin my thoughts with "What's next?" because we cant teach ourselves the lessons we've learned unless we've made a few mistakes. So why not look forward? Think more of "Until next time."

The Man in the Corner

[themaninthecorner]

There is no way to describe it. I stopped writing about "Him" not because of any emotional state, but because there is no way to put into words what he made me fee...

Tonight

Another's story is something that once you hear, you can never return. A story: the recalled recollection of numerous or a singular event replayed in anywhere from a novels to a single phrase or sentence. In his case, he knew exactly what to say in the shortest amount of time. Even though he had nowhere to be, it was like he had planned for us meeting years prior. The only thing i can say in complete honesty is "we must have met in another life." % -The Man in the Corner
