chance.

By Exodus


i have taken my toll
on your broken stairways.

I’ve let go of the banister
That tied me to hopelessness

and I have fallen with you…

So deep in our mess


of things.



But if you pull me above the surface,

save me this time….



I will forever drown in your sadness…


forever endure your pain.






*Stephen, I swear on my life I will never hurt you again.... if you just let me numb myself...*

    This is very curvey and filled with exploding people. Sometimes I wonder why people tape their hopes to the insides of other people's hands. I guess it's because deep down we know that if they turn inside out the world will unravel itself. Splendid:[D&A]

    And from it, wonderful emotions are unplugged.
