For if you surrender Hope...

[skullznrosaries]

...then Love was right to leave you.

Hope is often hailed as the saving grace to Pandora's Box.
Amidst all the fear, and the pain, the demons and nightmares...

There was Hope.

Hope is necessary, for us to continue on in a world full of evil...
For us not to be crushed by it.

...but what people forget is that Hope can also be one of the evils...

Hope can blind you to the reality of a situation...
Can soothe your wounds, so that every time you lose Hope they are ripped open again...never heal...
Can keep you waiting, so that you forget to move on, live your life, find new paths...

Hope can be a trap, as well as a salvation.

...and the tricky part is figuring out which side of the coin you're on...
...whether the Hope you hold will save you, or whether it will destroy you...

Learning when to say when. I was never really very good at that.

...and I was ready, entirely, to give up...
...but sometimes the way things line up just right makes me wonder...

*sigh* So I suppose I'll let Hope live through tomorrow.
Because don't I always?
