Painfully and beautifully coexisting.
Gather all the broken pieces of me, like shattered glass on the floor, reflecting what once was. Put me back together again the way you cut me in half. Give yourself back to me, my heart is missing its lungs. Tend to the wounds and scars you made me carry. Help my heart beat again. My other half, with you I am so utterly broken, yet so incredibly complete. I can forgive you, just find me, find my soul before it’s too late, and put me back together again.

Put me back together
Beloved soul. Who finds these words. I wish I could hold your hands and tell you just how deeply special you are. The universe you carry within, is a gift to share, even in fragments. I send you so much love because you are here for some of the same reasons as I am. To be seen, to express your soul in ways most people cannot understand. For me to witness a glimpse of your experience, to see the doors of the heart you keep hidden. What a honor that is. Beloved soul, your work is so important. Thank you for sharing parts of you, even when you sometimes forget how extraordinary they are.

You have wings
Now, you adore me. When my absence echoes through every corner, of every room. When the longing for me is so suffocating you are left gasping for air. When the regret runs like poison in your veins. Right before you fall asleep, and the first thing when you wake, my name lingers next to your ear. I visit you in dreams so vivid, your heart breaks a little each time you open your eyes. In every place you visit, you secretly hope to find my eyes meeting yours. Each night you turn to the other side of the bed, the warmth of my body no longer rests besides you. You wear regret across your face, as I’ve worn disappointment across mine. Now you adore me, once I’m already gone.

Adored once I’m gone.
After months apart, there you were. In flesh and blood. You hoped you could grasp the light I once gave you. To fill that cold hollowness in your chest. The cure you keep chasing. You were suffering, and I realized you have always been a tormented soul. Constantly searching for the light you cannot find within. And after you abused your only source of it, you are left gasping, out of oxygen. Like a fish above land, desperately trying to survive, you choke on the absence of the light that once carried your tormented soul. - My light is no longer yours to claim.

Tormented soul
I find my generation incredibly blind. Eyes fixed on small glowing glass, forgetting about the endless beauty of the world before us. It is a generation of poison. So I ask to be left with my flowers, to stroll through botanical gardens. Leave me with the song of a bird and the conversations I hold with the moon. Leave me to sit beneath a willow tree for hours, observing the world go by. Let me write love letters for people that I will never send, and for places that touched my heart. Let me long for a time that existed before I did. For a time where everything was real and alive. A time when the world was not ignored, but witnessed.

A generation of poison
Do you remember our garden? The one we used to dream about? We planted seeds and flowers rose from the earth. Do you remember our garden, where the birds once sang and sunlight painted everything gold? Do you remember what happened to our garden? What became of our flowers, our seeds, the birds, the sun? Perhaps they began to rot after you colored the soil red.   When you stepped over our flowers and broke the wings of the birds. I want you to weep for the blood you spilled. I want you to mourn our garden and the roots you burned. I want you to look at the ashes and let them remind you of the life you chose to bury. Do you remember our garden? The one we used to dream about? -  I still do.

Our garden
Wandering across dewy grass, with the taste of red wine still burning on my tongue. My eyes rise up to the stars, with mistrust, as though their light had betrayed me. I curse them for ever giving me a sense of hope.   I tear them down from the midnight sky and throw them to the ground. Damping their light in the dewy grass beneath the sole of my shoe. “There’s nothing left to shine for” I tell them.

Cursing the stars
Beneath the layers, there I find you. Through heavy chains and rusted locks, I search for keys. Until one by one they yield, revealing your hidden soul. At last, you let me break through your heavy walls, and there you are:   The one who always had longed for to be found.

Hidden soul
Silence settles between you. Her body fades into yours, like a second skin. The world outside just the two of you, has dissolved. This moment could only be described as the first gentle sunlight after rain. The light that breaks through the heavens as the sky clears, painting the earth in a soft glow, making everything shimmer. As you rest in that soft glow, you understand that silence is not empty, but full. And complete.
