i clung to you, frail and fragile, desperate to be held close. i depended on you as a shelter from the world; protecting me, never letting me go. in return…sorrow and solitude. now, i cling to your shadow, the lingering scent of our memories and vows. it’s a betrayal i can’t explain; to be left in the dark, aching, in pain. i write in hopes it’ll reach you one day and break your heart like you broke mine that day.
