The paths of the past

The street, dark as the deepest parts of space.silent as if the people of the world had disappeared.He was In a world of his own, each passing memory crippling him, breaking him down.He struggled through the streets trying to find his way home but each path would lead to another dark end where he would confront his demons of his past.They was calling his Name”William“ they wanted him.

The dark paths keep him within his world. they was leading him through his journey in life, bad as well as the good.standing on the outside reflecting on his life choices. fearing whats to come.Hoping it may get better.everything was unlocking within him and without William noticing he was becoming more free as he was facing his past But things as they seemed to get lighter would then become darker once again.

The more memories he faced the more he could see his true colours, that he was filled with such anger and hate and wanting to be loved. It was hard for him to watch his whole life flash before him,Memories of his childhood and his mother, how she would always beat him and his siblings.The screams ringing in his ears, the scars on his body burning as if she’d just beat him. William was then took into the care system separated from his loved ones feeling alone and scared Always fighting for what he wanted to achieve in life Feeling like he had no one.

The journey carries on getting more painful and the feeling of regret was sinking in. He was terrified that his secrets would come back to haunt him.Time was taking it’s tall and he became weaker and weaker just trying to carry on holding on with hope.every street he’d was walking down was familiar filled of memories trapped for all these years Manifesting becoming worse and destructive.

Shouting ”i‘m sorry” crying every time he repeats himself, bringing him to his knees As he begged for it to end. He heard a Familiar voice behind him. Turning back no one was there looking around there was no one. confued He got up on his feet.broken, alone and terrified he carried on looking for what he knew was her.it was Sarah! William never thought he’d never hear her voice again It was heartbreaking for Him.

He began his search, he could see glimpses of her in the dark with her long blonde hair and beautiful greens eyes like she was guiding him to where her needed to be.she would call out his name which sank his heart lower as he thought about his deceased wife and all they Had gone through the times they argued, laughed and cried Together for many years holding his heart as it was sank down deep. what he then realised what was waiting for him at the end of his journey he could only pray for forgiveness.

As he carried on following sarah further down the dark moody streets.The memories deepened and opened up a lot that he ignored for many year trying to forget.The street seemed to be getting darker again getting harder to see Sarah,seeing shadows pass him by People of his past he’s pushed out of his life.Wondering if he ever get to Sarah the Light in all this darkness.

when all hope was lost and he couldn’t Go on no more. Sarah Came out of the dark. terrified he walked towards her falling on every step to reaching her hold his hand out to grab hers to find she was like a ghost.He was saddened by how cold she felt even if she still looked like the day they first met. He couldn’t bare to look at her no more. she started talking but not to William but to the younger ghost of himself then he knew what was to come and fear settled in.

The horrific day played out again! His younger self and Sarah was arguing standing on streets of London’s busy city centre. It all getting more and more heated He became angry, aggressive and nasty towards Sarah.tears in her eyes trying to stop the fight and begging him to stop! He push her into the road and in a blink of an eye she was gone the bus couldn’t stop in time.William world froze he trembled not knowing what to do as well as what he’d done.She laid there lifeless as the soul was seeping away With each passing second. he couldn’t believe it he slipped away and never looked back always pushing the memory away like he did to her until now. Standing there watching this unfold in front of his eyes, his veins filled with regret and darkness wishing things could of been different and that he could of stopped.

what seemed like minutes, hours passed by and reality set in for all those feelings he compressed are flooding out he became free of all his guilt and pain.William now knew it was on The last page of his book and soon it would be over.

The darkness was lifting around them with his younger self fading and for sarah To guide him into the light she said “what happened has happed A whole life of regret your now free”. He closed his eyes as he couldn’t believe what sarah said. He open his eyes one last time to be sitting in a hospital with his loved ones around him with tears starting to stream down his face he smiled and a drew his last breath and slowly shut his eyes. He faced his l demons and faces up to what he’d done for sarah to set him free to bring him Into the light.

what William learnt at the end of his life, is all that time he hid away from his problems, kept him from setting himself free. unfortunately he learnt this too late but he always wanted to be reunited with his sarah and now they rest in peace Together once more.
