Get by, baby bye bye...

The path to glory is paved with many thorns, he thought as he clawed his way through his most recent endeavours. There is no rest for the wicked, and those who chase their dreams, cannot afford to waste much time. Breaks are seldom permitted, yet should be milked to the very last drop. Do not give up hope and do not lose momentum, for the way to the moon isn't singular, and different wanderers can reach it by different means, at a pace dictated only by their hearts. 

I promise that I'll try. I'll try to do better. I'll try to be a better person, a better partner, a better man. I'm a work in progress, that is for sure. I feel I have so much more potential than I'm currently showing, and so much more to give. To share. To love. I guess my past damaged me more than I could have ever imagined or admit to myself, and if I have any say, I'll be damned before I let it reek so much havoc as it did in recent days. I have to find a way to deal with it once and for all - to banish all that is left of the timid young boy who was given a life, just so it can be taken away. Perhaps it is as simple as taking a deep breath and plummeting myself into the ocean, letting it all wash away.

High by the beach...

We died last night in my dreams...

There are some fights you cannot get back from. When words are spoken aloud and buried resentment rears its ugly head, it would take a miracle to be able to look past and move beyond. I am far from perfect, and I don't expect perfection, yet I'll be damned before I let anyone, especially someone who claims to hold my heart, disrespect the very foundations on which the bond was built. I do not know how this day will end, if I'll be alone or if I'll somehow conquer the wraiths that have taken hold of my soul, I just hope that I don't break under the pressure of being on my own. I have come too far to succumb to my basic instincts. We are deserving of love and respect, and people who don't appreciate that, perhaps aren't worth holding on to, even if it breaks our heart to let them go.
