Fear is the most incredibly powerful influence that can make or break a man. It can be the devil and it can ruin every aspect of your life and that's exactly what it did. I was scared, petrified of how things might not ever change; stuck in a relentless cycle of having my hopes diminished and stuck in a toxic lie. A lie that chained me to the bottom of the ocean and left me struggling to breathe. I did not want to drown anymore, I wanted to breathe. I wanted to be free from my shackles and be myself. But every decision has a consequence.

I left the very person who loved me despite my endless, and seemingly unforgivable faults. All out of fear...that and hurt. The words I spoke were the dagger and my actions were the venom that spread through and killed everything I've ever loved.

The words and actions combined were a brutal massacre of the purest, loving heart. So pure and beautiful.

He was flawed, and so was I. But together we were flawed perfection. This earth holds countless wonders, many beauties, treasures not even found in the wildest figments of your imagination and dreams. But nothing will ever compare to the beauty of him.
