Nothing comes easy. Nothing is given but must always be earned. The problem is I’m too tainted and broken to have anything good. That was a lesson I was taught early. A lesson I carried throughout my life, and into every relationship I had. I did not trust. Trusting meant I was vulnerable, and when you let your guard down, that’s when all the dark shit seeps in. That’s when the demons attack. Nothing good happens in the dark. But, Aurora, she was the sun, there was a goodness about her. I knew if I didn’t let her go, I would dim her light and chip away at the wonderful person she was. It's what I did, what I’ve always done. I take the good and break it. But no one told me letting her go would be one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to face.
