It all began at the lake. The clear water, the hidden secrets, the ever present memories; they all stay there. One lake, one summer, one lifetime. The visions of that time still ever present in our minds, reminding us, tempting us. We were reckless, carefree, irresponsible. But nothing could break what we had that one summer.
  
  "We abandon our prize to look at others; wishing and hoping that it could be given to us. When we do have a chance to take a peek, we cower and hiss at what might be inside... Please unravel the ribbon; take the wrapper off that is the flesh of you and open the box. Maybe you will see stars." - Genesis Adonai Adams

The cut that always bleeds

49 parts Complete Mature

I was what they called a perfectionist. I had everything planned out and wanted a simple straightforward life. Things at home were hectic, disturbed, painful and heart-breaking. I decided that I wanted to stay away from all people that could possibly hurt me. For example, friends, extended family, judgemental neighbours and worst of all, the one I dreaded the most... love. But of course, as any normal story goes, I was unable to steer clear of love. I was unable to steer clear from him. I let myself drown in merciless water, drown so deep, the surface was out of the question. I let myself escape and wonder in his inequitable love, so blinded, so foolish. I thought I could no longer drown. But that day. That one day. That day ensured my belief. That I would forever drown alone.
