Day 29

Write about something heavy.

In the darkness of the mind and the prosperity of light, two lovers come to life, two lovers fight. An endless battle with no clear purpose no clear hope. In the confusion of the soul, the disappointment of the heart, the commitment of the mind for something else to find. So many tricks and so few answers, more and more disasters. Hearts that are broken trying to mend, but neither will bend. There’s a clear conflict created by so many wrong ideas and numerous misconceptions on the meaning of redemption. There’s a crossroad that leads to nowhere and empty souls walking each way, you can see them starting to fade. But their dark trails are always left behind, for someone else to find. So many are lost to their dark desires, playing with fire. Leaving them hopeless and tired. And the consequences of their actions leave them torn a broken, unloved, unchosen. With the passing of time, nothing changes, because people become absent but memories remain, and the loved ones they leave behind, drag around their excessive chains, adding on to their never-ending pain. Anchors bolted to their hearts, slowly tearing them apart. Supposedly, people forgive; yet for some reason they never forget and always regret. Stuck in the past slowly dragging forward, looking back shaking like cowards. But there is no now, only then, questions that only start with when. So they drag on carrying their heavy burdens, waiting for the next perfect moment.
