I see your dirty face...

Sometimes we have to sever old ties in order to make room for new ones. We have to let certain people go, so we can let others in. We establish new connections just as easily as we break them. But against all odds, sometimes a bond cannot be broken. Both of us pull away but we just find ourselves closer together. It is love in its purest form and the shackles which keep us together can never truly be shattered...

What about the others? What about you? Yes, I mean you. Is the silence really that comforting? Is decadence really the only way? I don't know the answers, and very few actually do. But know that even though nothing can be undone and not everything can be fixed, there is always a path which leads to freedom. The questions is, are you on it? And if you realise that you aren't, why still pursue it?

I take a knife and start cutting. I begin with casual acquaitances, followed by situational friends. The real ones take longer to cut through, but in the end only blood remains. Then I stumble upon her, who I decided to banish not so long ago. I lay the knife right at the core of the string, but then I pause. I can't do it, still after all this time, I can't. The tie remains, as I always knew it would...
