Cracks that let the winter air seep in, and pipes which are so creaky that they play the theme from the twilight zone without fail each night. as if on repeat.
When the time comes to move on, you've got to clear away the old stuff, sweep away all the cobwebs which serve as a reminder of the past. Of a life you once had. but when you check under the bed, you find things you'd forgotton were even there....
Things which always come back to haunt you. be it in the form of material things, or mere memories. they're always there. Looming within the shadows, in the darkness, waiting to pounce on you.
Why is there always a need to solve life's mysteries, when we should just accept that somethings have no answers. Maybe we'd be better off not knowing at all. not delving, not knowing. But thats not human nature. we always need a reason to hope, a reason to look into the future and see the possibilty of something greater than the life we know, than the life we lead. The need to simply never cease looking for something, anything thats better.
but whats wrong with that?
whats wrong in wanting something better? in wanting to forget the past. in wanting to move on? I say there's nothing wrong. that there's no shame or blame in that. but no matter how far or hard you try to run, it's always there. waiting. never leaving you alone.
know what it's called? your conscience. as simple as that.
