A broken record playing softly from the corner of the room on repeat with no-longer-white sheets draped over rotting, forgotten furniture. Thick drapes coated heavily in years of dust have kept the warm rays of sunlight from piercing the stale darkness that permeates the space. There is no life here, no forgiveness; only the wailing of the record as it hums its familiar tune, until finally it, too, ends.
If I had to describe what it feels like to allow myself to trust people, this would be it.
