Before the dawn.

"It's always darkest before the dawn."

I gotta stop counting the number of times I find myself saying this.

But truly this feels like the depths of that darkness.

Which means to me, I'm close to finally escaping.

"Love without hope will not survive"

You were so convincing when you wanted me to crack.

Telling me to have faith in a man who couldn't help but lie.

It was more than just what was missing, it's what had already died.

"Pain will leave you when you let go."

It seemed so simple, I just had to do it.

I pray you don't try to stop me this time.

How brighter the dawn becomes without the obstruction of you.

#love #over #pain
