Strawberry Chapstick And Cigarette Kisses

Chase drinks to forget even though he still feels.

Daisy smokes to feel even though she can't really remember what she's looking to feel.

Everyone has a personal hell; a place where up is down and nothing seems right. Where you freeze up and can't move from fear, or shake with repressed emotion.

But, sometimes someone comes along and sheds the tiniest bit of light into the cave of darkness you lurk in, and with that little bit of light comes a little breath of fresh air. Eventually, you suddenly have no more darkness to fear and your whole world is taken over by that light..

And yes, it's great. There's butterflies and flowers and rainbows. There's genuine happiness... But even the light can burn you.
