"There are limitations and there are protocols and I’ve been warned that I’m not supposed to threaten or beg for pieces of someone’s soul."

Richard Siken, ‘The Long and Short of It

"My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean" -unknown

Yes, I know that everything is easier done than said.
but that doesn't stop me from saying it, and hoping I can do it.
because in the end all I have is murmured promises
and hope on a summer day
so, I'll just keep making myself promises
and hoping that they'll be easier said than done.
