Little Promise to myself by Denisse Cotto

I can't
that's it
My heart has been into broken roads and false promises.
I'm tired of believing in them

I need a brake
a long brake
so my wounds can heal
 and my walls can build up again
so no one can have the pleasure of breaking me again.

This time, I'll be ready

A Stubborn Heart Is Deaf and Blind

The most annoying thing in the world is to have people trying to seduce you and be with you after you repeatedly have said no.  I mean for God's sake, The more I run the more they find me we can be friends and no I don't mean --friends with benefits--, I mean actual friends, and no I don't mean --friends now and maybe date later-- no, I don't care for it, I don't want it, I am not looking for it. So, don't call me 'baby' because we never established a 'baby' relationship if in fact a relationship at all. Shit, you use 'baby' so loosely I begin to think its a meaningless term for you to count your conquests.      But you don't need to conquer me because I am no land, no property, I belong to myself and I am in no desire to be in your list of cross-outs and question marks. Call me arrogant but that's just because you're mad at the fact I am not giving you what you want, which in fact it only proves your disrespect toward...

Unconditional Love (Short Story)

The Girl Met the boy of her dreams on a sunny afternoon while she walked the wide streets of New York City. He was quiet but spoke so passively like he knew every answer in the world, like he could take her out of any dirty ditch she could be in any day, like he was in control. He had Caramel Skin, dark brown eyes, and a smile that lit up with his dimples. The girl wasn't happy with herself, so having someone like him was magical for her. Dear Diary, omg! Today he told me that he wanted me to be his girl, and I was so happy I jumped up and down! He makes me feel so complete. I was dreaming of the day me and him could be together, like living together you know? I can't stand my mom. She's so annoying! She told me to wash the dishes when I didn't even eat dinner! Shoo, she should wash her own dishes. "I wanna tell you something." The boy said one day. The girl nodded with a smile. "You're the best girl I ever met." The girl nodded with a...

My Funerals with Him's

For some reason I keep dying for men that don’t die for me. First I was dying to meet him, I had already met him, I just didn’t know it was him. Then I was dying to talk to him, dying to find commonalities beyond physicalities, beyond superficial breaths, Then I was dying to exchange numbers without making the entire situation go down hill Didn’t want to seem too desperate, so maybe he can be desperate first? Then I was dying to hear what he likes in a woman, to see if I’m that woman. Then dying to kiss him dying to get his next text, his next call dying to find the perfect outfit he can see me in. I’m dying for the 30 minute train ride to hurry the fuck up cause I need to see him. dying to see if his touch feels like prince charming finally found me outside of fairy tales and novelas. To see if he makes the retina in my eyes degrade and deteriorate, affecting the perception of finding any other male worth my attention. Waiting to see if he finds value in my...
