Scarlet dreams

"Can you show me where it hurts?"


"Here's something to ease the pain to get you on your feet again."
"Don't be afraid, it's just a little pinprick."
"Ah, yes, that's just to keep you going through the show."



But who will tell me what happens after the show, when the numbness wears off?

I'm sorry, sometimes even best efforts aren't enough. I should probably just give up. Yeah, I keep forgetting, too, that it's easier said than done...

Maybe you would like to enlighten me on just what I've done wrong?

Sick of it all. Fuck.

(edit)

It is all but a thankless task. I know, I know, we should never ask for anything in return but give out of the goodness of our hearts. I admit, I am selfish and I will never settle for anything less. Even though I know I'm asking for too much. Maybe I'll just lie in bed and hope for better tomorrows...and if that doesn't happen to fall into my lap, maybe I'll lie in bed some more and try again. Someday.
