Part 114

You know you've drifted

too far

when being alone

is all you want

to be.

When you start to forget

the small things

and your heart aches

a little more.

Except,

it's not as terrible

as you think.

You're alone

but you're no longer

lonely.

All the darkness of the people

who tried to snuff out

your light,

have been burnt away

like a chapter in a book

eaten up by a flame.

Your heart hurts a little more,

doesn't it?

But that's only because

you're letting yourself

feel again.

This part of your story

will be a better one, 

my darling -

I promise.

Although there will still

be dark days,

you will always be

your own light.
