This one fell down the rabbit hole, except instead of falling into dreamland, she fell into reality. Her flailing limbs tore open the silkscreen of her own delusions, manufactured from sorrow, nostalgia, and a ribbon of guilt curled around the aching bones.
There's a broken sailing ship tethered to an ankle, waiting, a lonely soul inside trying to mend, but his thread caught in a knot, his spirit broken in a thousand places, stitches that will take years to heal, and can only be done once the rabbit hole is filled, left for the past, for people to walk upon, their bare feet tingling on the soil but not knowing why, that is is a connection come to a close.

good-bye is a bit of an irony
so often saying bye doesn't feel good
see you later hurts less
but isn't always true

this is one of the most painful moments for me that stretched out far too long
and even still
it hurts
but what is worse is that it hurts someone else
and so i have to let my grip go
and move forward
with every step an insurmountable weight
that must get lighter with time
