Bar Descriptive Writing
Autumnal weather is nothing compared to the winter, freezing my veins and forming cracks that run up and down my arms as I start to break, but every tear is freezing as quickly as it flows. I cannot help but feeling that things are beginning to fall apart. It was as if you induced me into a long lasting coma where my dreams were more appealing than the world you left me in, walking alone as a lonely vessel of what I once was. Left in the dark, much like the night at the bar, my most prominent memory of us burns brighter than the spotlight did. I stub my cigarette out in the glass-cut ashtray you left when you moved out and was flooded with memories of us. I still remember the night you let me preform with the band. You kept your left hand at the base of my lower back and introduced me to your friends. It was going to be a night to remember, but the lights could not shine bright enough to illuminate the darkness inside of you. I remember the smoke rising from your lips, my eyes narrowing through the haze. A smile played on your face and I leaned in for one last taste before we went on stage. The lights above us crackled to a hiss and died; suddenly I wanted to leave that dark place behind. Pandemonium struck as everyone rushed frantically around the …show more content…
You only kept me around as a trinket to display at your shows. I do not think I really wanted you, either. We wanted skin, flesh, and talent; we were using each other to get what we wanted, and once we obtained it, the spark that burned between us snuffed out. Maybe I should have taken that night as a sign. Any electrical engineer could never repair your darkness, for you were never a spotlight. You never really lit up my world as I tried to tell myself you did. I press my face against the glass of the window by my bed and breathe. I watch as the air splays out and clouds the outside world in a blanket of fog, and it reminds me of what you once did to my

    A loud “whoosh” echoes throughout the dark distant auditorium, and in an instant huge gleaming lights lower themselves upon the stage. The stage sits empty, lifeless, waiting, listening..listening for one to drop jaws with their all-knowing Mozart Symphony or disappoint with a piece that has no rhythm. With each day a new audience gathers around to join the stage in listening. To some it just may be a song, but to others it is a message, a chapter, a story. A story that throws all of life's up’s, all of life's downs. All of it’s good days, it’s bad days. Everything described on one sheet of paper.. But ultimately that was the audience's choice. The stage waited each day for the next performer, for the next song..With each passing person a new song, a new story told, and here is mine.…

    While I look down at it, I think of a boy I once knew, of how, for a short time, he was a dash of color in my monochrome world. I think of how I drew him flowers; how one morning, he stood silently behind me and watched me draw them with a broken pen; how he swiped the card I drew them on away from me and held it close to his eyes, smiling, telling me how much he liked them. I remember going home that night and painting flowers the same strawberry pink as the tulip resting in my fingers, and I remember drawing those flowers again in black and white a week later. Those I drew on an envelope with his name written in large cursive letters in the middle. Inside was a goodbye I knew…

    I feel the muscles of my chin tremble like a small child and I look towards her, hoping for soothing words I don’t deserve. There is static in my head once more, the side effect of this constant fear, constant stress I live with. I hear my own sounds, like a distressed child, raw from the inside. It takes something out of me I didn't know I had left to give.…

    Today is one of those rare days in which it is raining and I’m sitting on the windowsill waiting for a sign. Something that says ‘move on’. There is still a part of me that hopes every day that you're alive and I haven't found you yet. I will have searched the far corners of the earth before I let myself believe you dead. I dream of you every night, then wake with the bitter taste of regret fresh in my mouth. You abandoned me. You have marooned me on this earth, and it is dark without your light by my side. All that fills my mind is when you were still beside me. I distinctly recall one summer when we were not quite children anymore and still too young to be adults. It was raining so hard that the streets were flooded for the first time in eighty years, and you had insisted on escaping to the desert.…

    Sometimes I walk past the house that’s filled with dread, hate and fear. Sometimes I think I put myself through the pain to make me stronger. Sometimes all I can feel is hate and anger filling my blood, my body and my mind. When I think of those years, the awaiting dark holes are released to blacken the rest of the few memories filled with light.…

    — Take a deep breath, close your eyes, and imagine another time, another world You knew love, once. But where once was love, now remains longing. The sky showed first signs of winter when they found you: a helpless girl, lost in a world that had not at all been introduced to her properly. The soot from the night prior and the snow from the early morning clung to your hair and skin, just as you had once fastened yourself to your parents’ side. Those who found you knew you as much as you had known yourself.…

    Family dynamics vary widely from household to household. There are those that have parents and kids who cannot spend more than a few minutes apart, while there are others that do not even speak on a daily basis. For the latter, there can be a plethora of outcomes from those strained familial relationships. “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden explores some of those issues and their complexities, focusing mainly on a breakdown caused by a lack of understanding of all that a father provides to his family as well as broken lines of communication. Hayden indirectly addresses messaging and compassion issues in this poem through the use of a child’s point of view in a darkened atmosphere.…

    I hated winter, the days were short and the nights were long. The howl of the wind in my ears as it blew hair into my face, making it difficult to concentrate on the environment around me. I could feel the cold nipping at my skin, the air turning cloudy in front of me as if I was breathing out smoke. This was winter.…

We wait until its our turn to play our show. I meet up with friends and…

    There were people that died in front of my very eyes. I picked up my guitar by the neck. I saw my reflection in the shiny gloss of its back. I saw a lost man. A man who was lost in the abyss of desolation. I could see only anger. I thought of my fans and companions who were gone as I lifted the guitar over my head and swung it into the concrete wall next to me. I looked down at my hands to see blood flowing from a cut in the palm of my hand. It did not break. I then slammed it into the asphalt. I heard a crack but, it still it didn't break. Then I threw it on the ground and it snapped in two. There were chips of wood and paint around the…
