I was told there’d be a light at the end of this tunnel.
One more exam. One more application. One more interview. One more job. One more report. One more deadline. Just one more.
You’ve done so much more, so what’s one more?
Just one more.
And then, there’ll be the light. The love. The joy. The praise. All yours by right.
So you go through life, each day piling on top of the next, each morning it gets a little bit harder to breathe, a little bit harder to believe, a little bit harder to choose to live, but you keep going, you keep breathing, you keep believing, you keep trying, cuz you’ve gone through so much more, what’s one more?
Just one more.
So on and on and on we go, chasing the light at the end of this tunnel, but you’re just as far in as you’ll ever be out, and you can’t stop now, its right there, that illusive dream you’re chasing that shimmers on the edges, that keeps you alive, that keeps you waking up every morning, that was promised, because you did so much more, you went through so much more, you can do so much more, of course you’ll get it, you have to, right, you’ve earned it, it’s yours, it’s coming, its right there, don’t you see it, it’s right there, just one more step, one more breath, one more day, one more try. What’s one more?
Just one more.

A Dowry of Blood, S.T. Gibson
We are all stardust and stories✨
You’ve waited far too long
for someone to color your heart with tenderness,
to hang love like art on the bare walls of your soul.
But time slipped through like candlelight,
and in the quiet,
dust gathered where laughter should’ve lived,
cobwebs clung to dreams left untouched.
Still, you wait—
romantic, patient, aching—
a heart dressed in longing,
hoping love will one day come
and call this place home.
There is something to be said about the way in which a memory fades - like ink in water, rippling until it is no longer there.
It fades with the finality of a written ending, in way it leaves no room for further discussion; it simply vanishes.
And like ink in water, it is hard to catch before it leaves completely. It simply stains other memories, giving a gray veil
that wasn't there before. But its echo - that noise it made while it lived, forever remains in your brain.
~ Ely C. Winters.
Books are letters in bottles, cast into the waves of time, from one person trying to save the world, to another.
