Giving Up To The Darkness Down the hallway I ran, His arms my destination. Anyone and everyone in my way moved to the side, as if they knew nothing could stop me from reaching him. But as I ran, pushing myself faster and faster to make it too him as soon as possible, He seemed to be getting further away. Was he putting space between us? No, his arms were outstretched. He wanted me, he was waiting for me! I ran harder, as if something was chasing me, as if my #life depended on it. But the faster I ran, the further he disappeared into the distance. I said his name. I cried it out, I screamed it at him, begging for him to return. I collapsed to my knees, watching them bleed beneath me. My heart pounded so hard, I thought it would burst out of my chest. I couldn't catch a breath, from running? From seeing him? From watching him retreat? It didn't matter, because I could no longer see him. He wasn't there waiting for me. He saw me and left. I lay back with my hands on my temples. I was done. I give up. I last feel my head hit the tile, and then everything went black.

Unanswered Feelings Memories in his head, Her words in his heart. Tears on his cheeks, He doesn't know where to start. They must come out, They beg to be released. These feelings of sorrow, Are like a growing, shy little beast. How she feels now? He wishes he knew. Does her love still remain? Is she also feeling blue? His questions go unanswered, Leaving him grief-ridden and numb. Little does he know though, Over him she is drinking herself unconscious with a bottle of rum.

Nothing's In The Way His eyes so pure, His soul so sincere. Hurting him is all she feared. Loving him was paradise, Forever never out of their sight. He loved her and she loved him, Someone else never needed again. Until one day, #life got in the way. As he was ripped from her #life, #depression filled her and she searched for the silver-bladed knife. He is gone, His eye are dead. What's here to stop her from being found #lifeless in bed?

Triggered Thoughts I find it crazy how one thing, one sight, one song, one place, even one word can bring back so many memories it nearly brings you to your knees. One thing can bring your world crashing down around you. All of our minds are walking the line between crazy and carefree. It only takes one blow, and you are falling helplessly down the side you'd rather not. There you find no place to grab hold, to get a good footing to pull yourself back into a steady state. One Blow. One Memory. One can ruin it all.
