It's Not Washing Out

"Why, Flynn? Why can't we move on past this stupid wall between us? I miss you. I miss us. Don't you miss us, Flynn? And you're breaking my heart, when you promised me you wouldn't Flynn! Why!" Lily cried out as she angrily swiped at her tears with her sleeve.

Flynn shut his eyes tight at the sight of her tears, trying to hold back his own that threatened to fall. He felt like splinters were razoring his insides, cutting deep. It was a while before he managed to speak, his throat having gone desert-dry. "Some things just don't wash out, Lily. That includes heartbreak," Flynn said brokenly, "So don't you hold me to that. You failed to keep mine."

I think I'm going to call this one "Castles". This was inspired by "So in love" by The Icarus Account - an insanely talented band. Love. Love.

Just Press Delete

It was hard. It was necessary. I debated whether I should do it, and in the end I decided to go for it. To keep it there would only serve to constantly be a ringer for what I don't want to remember. In the end you can only trust so much. In the end you can only hurt so much. Before you crack.

And I have cracked.

So I reacted. And I pressed 'delete'. "Are you sure?" the screen prompted me.

I did not hesitate to press down 'yes'.
