[Drabble] Insanity Under the Rain

It was at that moment when you find yourself running towards the heavy downpour with arms wide open, feeling as if all the weight of the world has left and that screaming at the top of your lungs felt so good that you just wanted to do it over and over again. Yet even as you run as fast as you could, heavy and painful drops of the rain hammering against your shivering skin, you envelope them without a care in the world and you find yourself smiling widely amidst the tears cascading down your cheeks.

[Short] And he is only human

Disclaimer/Warning(s): Angst.

It had always been like this whenever he cried. He would always just bite his bottom lip in frustration until they bled. His tears would just silently fall, forming tear tracks across his cheeks. He would close his eyes so tightly that his forehead formed wrinkles with his eyebrows. He would clutch the hem of his shirt all the time until his knuckles turned white.

He would never make a sound.

But sometimes, a choke of sob escapes. Because the pain is sometimes too much.

And he is only human.

That choke of sob is but an escaped feeling... One amongst many of the feelings that were being bottled up in his shell.

And he is only human.

Cutter 
By: kArLaLa

I look up at the newcomer of my room and froze dead on my spot when I saw you standing on the doorway. How the hell could I have forgotten to close the door? I looked down and took it away… embarrassed… exposed.

I couldn't look at you in the face, there was no use hiding on what I was doing. Guilt? Regret? Self-pity? All of these emotions coursing through my veins as I avoided your gaze.

I was caught… I didn't want to make excuses… there was no use hiding it… what good excuse could I come up with anyway? It was so painfully obvious with the mess I created all over the floor.

Masochist
By: kArLaLa

He slammed her to the floor,
Fists went flying around.
She curled up to a ball,
Taking them all without a sound.

She loved him, she thought.
Things weren't this way before.
Back when the beatings and screams,
Were smiles, laughs and more.

He told her damn lies,
And she believed them all.
She was stupidly in love,
Oh, the trap she was about to fall.
