Her blood is engraved into these pages
Slowly unraveling the truth
Exposing every flaw in perfection
Every short-lived high
Every precocious low
Has driven the knife deeper into her lingering past
Until she’s barely breathing
Yet as this endless night continues
I know this isn’t how it ends
My resilience reminds me
The sun will rise again.
-Lucy Danto
The hardest part
Wasn’t
Noticing the signs
Hoping they won’t notice the way they hurt you
Knowing they don’t care
Leaving first
Telling yourself to move on
To remember
Is to live in the past
Unable to forget
The wonder and happiness
That emerged from the darkness
To remember
Is insanity
To do the same thing repeatedly
I can’t pretend anymore
I’m not okay,
I’ve never been okay
And I don’t think I’ll ever be okay
But every day I’m trying
Every day I’m learning to love the flaws he hated
Every day I’m writing
