Let's talk about our failures, you and I. Let's talk about all the people we've disappointed, we've let down, we've forgotten in our journeys. Let's talk about what we've done wrong, what we could have done right, and let's talk about the people we've loved and hurt. Then, when we're done, let's try to do better tomorrow. That's the least we can do ( Read more... )

And as I walk up the stairs of where I used to live, so many years ago, I still remember where I sat in the corner, watching the world go by. I turn as I near the top, to the right, and walk towards my parents' bedroom, and opening the door, I remember what it really means to be lonely ( Read more... )

I wish I could draw.

Time and distance have been kind enough to change all these years of grief so far. I have no reason to doubt them ( Read more... )

Tell me what's real these days and I'll believe you tonight. There's just something about the way that the moon shines that makes it all come true. So tell me what is happening here and I'll make sure that it comes to light. Tell me what you want from life and I'll set it all all right. There's no need to convince me of what I know.

Do you want a question that will leave you wondering for the rest of the day? I've got this story, you see, a story that you've never heard before. I ( Read more... )

And I like to think of the space heater I've got in the bathroom not as a space heater, but something else entirely. When it's on, and it has so much to heat, and yet it's still cold in the bathroom, it's not a space heater anymore - I'm beginning to think of it as a lone soldier against the encroaching darkness. It's the last salvation of warmth, ( Read more... )
