Sat here on a summers night, the sound of rain pouring, tapping against the glass.
My hands are wrapped around a warm drink, whilst my eyes blurr, and mind wanders.
Thoughts of days gone by, of all the times we tripped and fell.
No matter what may have pulled us down, we regained our footing each time.
The past so crystal clear, yet the future couldn't be more muddy.
My hopes and fears are clashing once more, dwarfing even the mightest of storms.

My heart yerns for a future with us, standing side by side, our resolve unflinching, unyielding.
To be able to lean on each other despite our shortcomings, reguardless of what may come.
Yet my fears force this image to the back of my mind, like the darkness snuffing out the light.
In this moment my flames of hope are all but gone, only smoldering ashes remain, waiting.
Waiting for you to rekindle them, to breath new life into, reignite my hope.

And with this thought, I stand at a crossroads... Shall I continue to wait?
Or shall I go on, in a different direction, alone, without you.
I don't know, it's an impasse, my selfishness won't let you go.
Yet this very stubbornness of mine causes my heart to fall apart.
The demons in my mind play upon this weakness, causing a divide within my very soul.

I'm frozen between these two emotions, unable to act or move...
Sooner or later something will break, and I am afraid, very afraid.
Of the demons which pray upon my mind and emotions.
The demons which I am unable to repel on my lonesome.
Yet they are so easily subdued while standing in your presence.
There is no way this ends well, not that I can see and so.
I'll just remain here until I am rescued from my demons, from myself.
